[Waivers] Libor Hajek, Linus Hogberg


Recommended Posts

We should put a claim in for Hajek, 25, 6'2" 209 lbs. LD, 110 NHL games. Nothing jumps off the page about the player, but would probably be an improvement over our ever rotating 3rd pair LHD

I'd claim Hajek like many, but we also gotta keep options open for trades and college UFAs.

I mean if Schenn and Boeser are on their way out, we’d still be gaining a contract (depending on return).

 

Still gives us 4 contracts to work with.

We aren't trading Boeser without taking a contract back. Schenn I don't think is being moved. But maybe. After the Kuzmenko signing I think we're probably gonna keep Schenner. He's the only RD that is worth anything, honorable mention to Bear. Especially as a leader. Tocchet claimed he was gonna lean heavily on him when he first got here.

Schenn’s agent basically said that he’d be willing to re-sign here in the summer after a trade. If some team is offering a 2nd they absolutely take it.


As for a contract coming back yea you’re probably right. But we could also send another contract like say Brisebois along with him if we really needed to free up a contract spot.

Stillman makes how much? 

Dermott will ask for how much? 

 

Hajek makes league minimum? 

 

This makes too much sense.

Worth a shot on Hajek. With how our d-core is set up, we need to get creative. It's a low cost add, and should be relatively cheap to resign if we want to retain him. 

If it doesn't pan out, we can non-qualify him at the end of the year. Low risk, potential moderate return.

When do the Canucks ever claim guys off waivers... even when it's outright slapping them in the face (Tolvanen)...

Not often enough is the answer. we did it for some tweeners in the past like Boyd, Vesey and Richardson. Canucks just have too many wingers, I would have still claimed Tolvanen as well but he is a winger, was he waived before or after we sent Hog and Pod to the AHL?
