LATEST | Former Canucks goalie prospect among 45 placed on waivers
The waiver wire in the National Hockey League was extremely busy on Sunday afternoon as teams get their rosters ready for the start of the 2023-24 season, which is just over a week away.
A total of 45 players were placed on the waiver wire on Sunday, including five Canucks and a former goaltending prospect in Vancouver's system,
Michael DiPietro.
Let's take a look at the full waivers list for Sunday:
In addition to the 45 placed on waivers on Sunday, one player from Saturday's list was claimed. As was first reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Anaheim Ducks claimed former first-round pick Lassi Thomson off waivers from the Ottawa Senators.
As is always the case to start the season, the order of teams that can place a claim is based off of last season's standings in reverse. That means the Anaheim Ducks, who finished 32nd overall last season, get the first crack at placing a claim on any of the players above, followed by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks.
If any of the players above go unclaimed on Monday afternoon, they'll be assigned to their respective teams American Hockey League affiliate. AHL training camps begin as early as tomorrow for some teams, which is a big reason why the waiver wire has been very busy this weekend.
