Welcome back to Around the League, a column in which we deliver you news from around the National Hockey League, oftentimes through a Canucks-tinted lens.
Yesterday, <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-wolanin-waivershabs-kovacevic-juuso-valimaki-sweepstakes">we wrote about the Juuso Valimaki sweepstakes</a>, 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&#8217;t expected to clear, and sure enough, the Arizona Coyotes &#8212; <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-wolanin-waivershabs-kovacevic-juuso-valimaki-sweepstakes">the team second on the NHL&#8217;s waiver priority list until November 1st</a> &#8212; scooped him up on Sunday.
Valimaki was the only player from Saturday&#8217;s list who didn&#8217;t clear waivers, and on Sunday, a much longer list of names of those on waivers came out:

There&#8217;s nobody that really sticks out as someone of interest for the Canucks to claim, but today&#8217;s list is filled with former Canucks:
