Just one day after claiming Nikita Scherbak on waivers, Rob Blake continues to be active looking for small upgrades to his team. The Canucks waived winger Brendan Leipsic yesterday in order to make room for Jay Beagle, who is returning from injury.
Leipsic has bounced around the league for the past several years after being chosen in the third round of the 2012 draft by the Nashville Predators. He spent part of one season on the Predators’ AHL team before being dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
