Sure, we knew this was a possibility, but we didn’t think that it was actually going to happen. The Canucks made 3 cuts today, and they were doozies. Sven Baertschi, Nikolay Goldobin and Alex Biega were placed on waivers for the purpose of being sent down to Utica.
So the Canucks feel that Tim Schaller or Loui Eriksson is a better option at LW, and Tyler Motte at right than Baertschi and Goldobin. Let that sink in for a moment.
