We had 3 pretty savvy waiver claims last year.
I can definitely see something similar happening this year, either at the early part of camp(with a team trying to sneak a player down), or closer to the TD due to holes in the lineup from trades and injuries.
The problem the Flames have with waivers is the sheer amount of depth bodies they have. Already it seems like Coronato is starting the season in the AHL unless he forces the Flames' hand out of camp. I could see Duehr, Schwindt or Rooney being waived and sent down for an upgrade, but that's about it. After that we have to waive someone like Pelletier, or if a D becomes available then one or two of Solovyov, Pachal, and Hanley.
