Counouton claimed by coyotes. Sounds like several teams tried to claim him.

I wonder why Kevin Connauton was placed on waivers....is it usual for a team to put their leading +/- player who is a 25 yo d-man on waivers?

As per the Edmonton Journal:

I don't know.... I'd think Faulk or goulobuf would have been better options to waive.

Why waste a contract spot, it might be needed down the road.

Surprised he ignored Pittsburgh. Goaltending is literally the only position of competence with Fleury, Murray, and Jarry.

Well, from the sound of it they'll be trading a bunch of guys for picks in the not-too-distant future, and they'll need people to actually line up on the ice still...

25 years old, Toronto born, can play wing or center. Plus I assume we're trading a bunch of the expiring guys in the coming weeks. And no this isn't tank talk, or that thing that disgusts you, this is simply the reality of being in 27th place.

Truthfully, I have no idea where Hodgson went wrong, 2012/13 he looked like a future stud.

He's a guy who always thought that his offensive output excused him from playing defence.

Except now he's not scoring either.

No thank you.

That's not the way it always was...he was once considered a Chris Drury clone. Especially on the junior stage, and his first few seasons in the NHL.

Ie. Scouting report when he was drafted:
A good center who can both finish and create plays. Fantastic hockey sense. Good creativity and two-way game. Suffers from his lack of size and has issues with strong defencemen.

Also he's getting 10 minutes a game this season which isn't much. 2 of his 3 goals are game winners.
