We have activity on the National Hockey League waiver wire this Friday afternoon, as two players are available for free.
We have verdicts on Joona Koppanen and Anton Lundmark, and we also have info on goaltender Laurent Brossoit, who is reportedly available at a minimal acquisition cost from the Chicago Blackhawks.
That is a very interesting situation to monitor for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens. That said, back to Koppanen and Lundmark, who remain two available options, if ever.

Anton Lundmark, 24 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 192-pound forward who played nine games this season with the Florida Panthers' AHL affiliate. Last season, he recorded 9 points in 49 games with Timra, in Finland's top league.
Joona Koppanen, 27 years old, is a giant 6-foot-5, 216-pound forward, a 5th-round pick of the Boston Bruins in 2016, who has played 30 games in the National Hockey League. He also put up 25 points in the American Hockey League over the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins' affiliate.
We will have a verdict this Saturday at 2 p.m. regarding these two big forwards, both over 6-foot-4.
