Yesterday, we wrote about the Juuso Valimaki sweepstakes, explaining how we expected there to be a sweepstakes of sorts for the 2017 16th overall pick.

Already plagued with injuries aplenty throughout his young career, the Calgary Flames placed the 24-year-old left-shot defenceman on waivers Saturday.

Valimaki wasn’t expected to clear, and sure enough, the Arizona Coyotes — the team second on the NHL’s waiver priority list until November 1st — scooped him up on Sunday.

Valimaki was the only player from Saturday’s list who didn’t clear waivers, and on Sunday, a much longer list of names of those on waivers came out:

There’s nobody that really sticks out as someone of interest for the Canucks to claim, but today’s list is filled with former Canucks:

In other news, former Canuck Jimmy Vesey made good on his PTO with the New York Rangers and signed a one-year deal with them today.

Christian Wolanin and Sheldon Dries both cleared waivers after the Canucks placed both players on waivers on Saturday.
