NHL Waivers - October 6th

All the players placed on waivers have been announced for the day and as teams look to get their rosters ready for the regular season this list continues to grow. There are likely to be some very interesting names crossing the wavier wire over the next couple days possible including Ryan Poehling, but today's list while long also contains some interesting players.

Alexander Volkov (Anaheim), Steven Fogarty (Boston), Aaron Dell (Buffalo), Jimmy Schuldt (Buffalo), Stefan Matteau (Colorado), Roland McKeown (Colorado), Kiefer Sherwood (Colorado), Dylan Sikura (Colorado), Michael Pezzetta (Montreal), Andy Andreoff (New York Islanders), Cole Bardeau (New York Islanders), Austin Czarnik (New York Islanders), Grant Hutton (New York Islanders), Otto Koivula (New York Islanders), Paul LaDue (New York Islanders), Dmytro Timashov (New York Islanders), Mitchell Vande Sompel (New York Islanders), Parker Wotherspoon (New York Islanders), Connor Bunnaman (Philadelphia), Adam Clendening (Philadelphia), Gerald Mayhew (Philadelphia), German Rubtsov (Philadelphia), Kole Lind (Seattle), Max McCormick (Seattle), Joey Anderson (Toronto), Carl Dahlstrom (Toronto), Brennan Menell (Toronto), Brett Seney (Toronto) and Jonah Gadjovich (Vancouver).

The three most interesting names on this list to me are Roland McKeown, Kole Lind and Brennan Menell. McKeown is a former second round pick who couldn't seem to ever become a regular on the stacked Carolina Hurricanes defense who could be a perfect 6/7D for a few different teams in the league.

Kole Lind is likely the most intriguing name on this entire list as the former 33rd overall pick in 2017 looked primed to make the jump to the Canucks before being selected by the Kraken in the July entry draft, it'll be interesting to see if the Canucks will have some interest in reuniting Lind with the organization.

Mennell returned to North America when he was acquired by the Maple Leafs from the Minnesota Wild after putting up 38 points in 47 games playing for Dinamo in the KHL last season. The smooth skating puck mover could provide a spark to a 2nd powerplay unit for any team in need of someone with a higher offensive upside.
