Can Veterans Brandon Prust, Mason Raymond Help Your NHL Team After Being Cut?

Mason Raymond of the Calgary Flames and Brandon Prust of the Vancouver Canucks have combined for more than 1,000 regular-season contests and have 116 playoff games between them. Raymond had 45 points as recently as 2014, while the tough-as-nails Prust played all 82 games for Montreal just last season.

Both found themselves on the waiver wire Tuesday morning, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman:

Prust stands the best chance of being claimed by some team thanks to his expiring contract. He’s in the final season of a four-year, $10 million contract, which the Canadiens awarded him with in the summer of 2012.
