Surprise in today's NHL waiver wire as former Montreal Canadiens player Noah Juulsen is available

Judging by comments, Canucks fans seem surprised by this announcement, especially since Juulsen was having some good moments, particularly defensively, before getting injured for Vancouver.

He is making the NHL minimum salary ($750,000), is 26 years old, and is now available for free.

Additionally, he is a right-handed defenseman who was the 26th overall pick.

Do you think he will be claimed? He could be a good depth defenseman for a team that will be in the playoffs in a few days!

This is a nice little gift from the Canucks, who did not need to put him on waivers since the trade deadline has passed.

An interesting decision:

It will be interesting to know the verdict as early as tomorrow.

Details will follow.
