I think there are a few candidates.

Kirkland, Solovyov, Cooley, and Kerins.

I am not saying they would be claimed, just that there would be a chance.

FWIW, last year the following players were claimed off of waivers just before the season started:

Schwindt
Lavoie
Ian Mitchell
Kahkonen
Patera
Reimer
Ludvig

While most players clear and it is fairly low risk to put a player on waivers just before the season starts, there are always a few that get claimed unexpectedly.
