I'm sure they would still be able to find a taker for Vatanen, just might affect the return.
Long term he's still a nice piece for a team to trade for.
Bieksa waives
Perry, Getzlaf, Rackell, Silfverberg, Kesler, Cogliano, Vermette
Lindholm, Fowler, Manson
Gibson
If Vatanen isn't traded then that's who Vegas takes.
People ask why would Bieksa waive? Well if he wants to stay in Anaheim waiving is his best chance to do so. Vegas probably isn't going to take him. If he doesn't waive then Anaheim is forced to buy him out and then he's gone from there 100%
