This year there were only 2 claims, which isn't out of the ordinary.
Looking at other recent years...
- 2019: 2 claims
- 2018: 7 claims
- 2017: 3 claims
- 2016: 6 claims
- 2015: 5 claims
- 2014: 3 claims
- 2013: 4 claims
I think every year people look at the final waiver list and think that a dozen or so players are going to get claimed, but the reality is, every team is trying to find room for extra players on their rosters while being cap-compliant. Grabbing a guy who's making $3 million and couldn't crack the Canucks' opening-night roster isn't really all that appealing.
