Really the only teams I would think even consider it would be the Habs/Sens (watched him a lot in jr and the Habs were rumored to like him at the draft) or the Canucks (Weisbroad)
Having said all of that is is unlikely he gets claimed and the Flames probably waive him tomorrow

Agreed it's unlikely but if Hudon is ineffective tonight and the rest of the Habs stink it up while icing close to a regular season line up, what does Bergevin have to lose? Bergevin has not had a good summer.
