Rem Pitlick's next destination is possibly known and an announcement could be made today
As we reported a few hours ago, the Montreal Canadiens made the decision to place the name of forward Rem Pitlick on waivers. Veterans like Mike Hoffman, Jonathan Drouin and Evgenii Dadonov were spared.
Thus, the various general managers of the league can currently acquire Pitlick for free, and there will be an official announcement at 2pm today.
According to some experts, Rem Pitlick's next destination could be known.
Following this move, the Habs are at risk of losing Pitlick, and one organization (in particular) could jump at the opportunity: the Minnesota Wild.
As Marco Normandin mentions, their GM Bill Guerin has been looking to add a forward to his roster for several weeks.
He still hasn't succeeded, and like the Washington Capitals did in claiming Nicolas Aubé-Kubel, Guerin could absolutely turn to waivers to find a forward (especially with the long-term injury suffered by Ryan Hartman).
Also, remember that Pitlick played in Minnesota last season and had 11 points in 20 games (6 goals).
The Wild were disappointed to lose him last season via waivers. To be continued!
Pitlick, 25, had 26 points in 46 games last season in Montreal. (No points this season) Do you think he will be claimed? Do you think he will be claimed by the Minnesota Wild?
