This is certainly a list of names…
I’ve seen some discussion around Marcus Bjork, he’s 25, 6’3″, Swedish. Actually had a good rookie season in Columbus last year according to this article:

That Rafferty kid sounds like he would kill in our lineup.
Pass
I’ve got a feeling that a trade ends up more likely than a waiver claim.
Nothing sexy, but it’s probably going to be another version of the Jack Studnicka trade where they trade a mid/late future piece for a more mature/NHL ready prospect.
I know nothing about Wyatt Newpower, but what a fucking name.

Mcllrath is still playing? I remember him from like NHL 10 lol
Reminder that Florida sent Reilly Smith and future Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Marchessault to Vegas to protect Petrovic in the expansion draft
Guys, we are not picking up waiver wire lottery tickets. We are up against the cap already and have enough projects. The season can’t start soon enough…

You know your prospect pool sucks balls when everyone drools over the waiver wire…
Bjork is a great value pickup. He’s immediately an upgrade
