Vancouver Canucks place Sam Gagner on waivers

Smiling Sammy smiles no more. Man, that would have been a better title. The Vancouver Canucks announced two more roster cuts this morning, placing Sam Gagner and Darren Archibald on waivers.

So, I am going to give Jim Benning credit where credit is due. When he said the team was willing to waive veterans who did not perform well, I did not believe him. I assumed that no prospect outside of Elias Pettersson would get a chance to make the team. That was technically correct since the prospects only played a couple of games each, but in those short samples they didn’t push those veterans out.
