All is well in Vancouver Canucks nation, at least for now. Defenseman Andrey Pedan was placed on waivers yesterday with the purpose of being assigned to the American Hockey League’s Utica Comets. One day later, he remains in the Canucks organization as 29 NHL teams decided not to claim him and he will get to join Utica.
If you were on Twitter yesterday, you likely saw the words “asset management” tweeted a lot throughout the day. Sportsnet colour commentator John Garrett even mentioned it in the broadcast of last night’s 4-0 victory over the Calgary Flames.
