Expensive Goalie Hits Waivers
Waivers were just announced for October 7th and there are many intriguing players up for grabs, including an expensive goaltender.
Placed on NHL waivers today: Jesper Bosqvist (BOS), Oskar Steen (BOS), Jakub Zboril (BOS), Brandon Biro (BUF), Kale Clague (BUF), Riley Stillman (BUF), Trey Fix-Wolansky (CBJ), Jack Ahcan (COL), Brad Hunt (COL), Cam Dineen (EDM), Philip Kemp (EDM), Brad Malone (EDM) ... Calvin Pickard (EDM), Tyler Madden (LA), Shane Bowers (NJ), Justin Dowling (NJ), Tyce Thompson (NJ), Max Willman (NJ), Denis Gurianov (NSH), Jachym Kondelik (NSH), Chris Driedger (SEA), Cale Fleury (SEA) and John Hayden (SEA). There are a few interesting options like many former first-rounders like Gurianov, Zboril, and Bowers but the most intriguing option is goaltender Chris Driedger.
Driedger is entering the final year of a 3-year, $3.5 million AAV contract but the contract is backloaded so he is making $4.5 million this year.
Driedger has struggled with his health having played in only 14 games last year, all of which were in the AHL, posting lackluster numbers. Hopefully, Driedger can get back to full health and eventually prove himself once again in the NHL.
