Breaking: Five Players Placed on Waivers Including Two First Round Picks
There is action in the National Hockey League, as five players are currently available for free, including two former first-round picks.
As reported by Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, here are the players that other NHL teams can acquire for free:
Nic Petan (Minnesota): He has accumulated 60 points in just 51 games this season in the AHL and 3 points in 10 games in the NHL.
Mark Jankowski (Nashville): He has accumulated 10 points in 9 games this season in the AHL and 12 points in 49 games in the NHL.
Michael McCarron (Nashville): He has accumulated 6 points in 16 games this season in the AHL and 4 points in 31 games in the NHL.
Kiefer Sherwood (Nashville): He has accumulated 38 points in 42 games this season in the AHL and 11 points in 31 games in the NHL.
Christian Wolanin (Vancouver): A Quebecois defenseman who has accumulated an incredible 55 points in 49 games this season in the AHL.
These are major players who could play in the AHL if they are not claimed, as they are dominant players at this level.
It is interesting to note that teams are taking the risk of losing to help their farm teams to win games.
