Raphaël Lavoie is on waivers for the second day in a row, and Kent Hughes has a second chance
Huge surprise in the NHL, as Raphaël Lavoie has been placed on waivers for the second day in a row, by a second team.
He was claimed yesterday by the Golden Knights, only to be placed on waivers again today.
"So Raphaël Lavoie is indeed on waivers for a second consecutive day. Clearly, they claimed him to send him to the minors, and that's why he's still on waivers. I wonder if the Edmonton Oilers will claim him again tomorrow."
- Renaud Lavoie
If Kent Hughes thought he made a mistake by ignoring him, he now has a second golden chance to get him for free.
However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Oilers claim him again, as they can send him directly to the American League.
Players with two-way contracts must remain in the NHL when they are claimed. Their new team must place them on waivers again to send them to the minors.
Raphaël Lavoie is thus playing yo-yo between two teams, and unless the Oilers absolutely want nothing to do with him, they should claim him again, as if nothing happened.
If they don't claim him, it sends a strong message to the young man that he is not wanted in Edmonton.
It should be noted that three other players were placed on waivers today.
We will see by tomorrow at 2:00 PM what will happen to Raphaël Lavoie. The 6'4", 215 lbs giant had 50 points in 66 games with Bakersfield last year. That's far from bad, and he is truly knocking on the NHL's door.
