Patrik Brown (Boston)
Michael Callahan (Boston)
Georgii Merkulov (Boston)
Victor Soderstrom (Boston)

So as you can tell, there are a few intriguing names.
Three players claimed on the NHL waiver wire
That said, three players were indeed claimed today in the NHL.
"Three NHL waiver claims on Friday:
Defenseman Daemon Hunt (CBJ to MIN)
Defenseman Ilya Solovyov (CGY to COL)
Forward Cole Schwindt (VGK to FLA)."
- Frank Seravalli

Forward Cole Schwindt (VGK to FLA)."
- Frank Seravalli
It's still surprising to see these three players claimed, while players like Brendan Brisson and Jakob Pelletier weren't, but I guess they don't fit similar roles.
Looking back at today's available players, David Kampf (536 NHL games), Quebec native William Villeneuve, and former 11th overall pick Victor Soderstrom seem to be the most interesting names!
More details to come.
