We've had a lot of action on the NHL waiver wire over the past few minutes, notably involving Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
As reported earlier today, the Canadiens have placed five players on waivers.
But that's not all!
Several players placed on the National Hockey League waiver wire
And here as well:
Among the names, we obviously see forwards Alex Belzile, Lucas Condotta, and Sean Farrell, along with defensemen Nathan Clurman and Marc Del Gaizo. We also see some former Habs players (like Jan Mysak and Corey Schueneman).
But there are also several other intriguing names.
That said, the biggest surprise here is without a doubt Zac Jones.
He's a defenseman the New York Rangers absolutely did not want to trade not so long ago - not even for a star player like J.T. Miller - and now here he is on waivers (available completely for free).
Wow!
Personally, I consider him better than someone like Jayden Struble, so this will really be a fascinating case to follow.
Zac Jones, 24 years old, is a very complete (and tough) defenseman, standing 5-foot-11 and weighing 190 pounds.
Last season, he was on the New York Rangers' first power-play unit when Adam Fox went down with an injury.. Just imagine!
Jones has collected 28 career NHL points.
If ever Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens are interested in him - perhaps instead of a player like Struble - they hold the sixteenth claim spot (the 16th waiver priority, based on last season's standings).
