Following up on yesterday’s news, the Vancouver Canucks have lost Brendan Leipsic on waivers. The Kings put in their claim after also snagging Nikita Scherbak this weekend. Vancouver has not been very active in putting in waiver claims, but I would remind everyone that during injury crises, the waiver wire is always a good option. These players can always be waived again if things don’t work out.
Speaking of waiving again, if the Kings do that with Leipsic and no other team puts in a claim, the Canucks could send him directly to Utica.
