OMI, c’est un gars pour lequel les Canucks doivent déposer une réclamation. Je pense qu’il se fait prendre par l’une des équipes devant nous. RHD défensivement responsable âgé de 23 ans. Bien sûr, peut-être qu’il ne fonctionne pas, mais il est une meilleure option que Juulsen et aussi bon que soit McWard, il devrait se développer dans la AHL cette année.
Following exhibition win tonight, OTT announces some cuts. Most interesting development: Jacob Bernard-Docker and Egor Sokolov on waivers https://t.co/CoUraCJbKT

Yeah this is the one I’d get behind. Maybe he works out to be something, maybe not, but as far as our depth goes there is no way we couldn’t find a way to use him better than most teams
Allvin please
How badly did he play during pre-season to be cut by the Sens??
Just for context, we are 11th on the waivers wire, if we exclude Anaheim who has just claimed Thomson we have 9 teams in front of us that could possibly claim him (CBJ, CHI, SJ, MTL, AZ, PHI, WSH, DET, STL).
I don’t know who still has RD spots open, I thought maybe Chicago or SJ but they seem to have already added RD depth.
I also wonder if maybe management is waiting for a team like Carolina to put someone like Coghlan on waivers, or Kovacevic in MTL, Brayden Pachal in Vegas, some bigger guys.
Worth a shot if he falls to us
Scouting report? Anyone watch him play before?
Is it worth flipping them a 7th rounder? Or Rathbone now that he’s cleared waivers?
I’m surprised he got waived, I’d put a claim in for him, better than what we have right now.
Sokolov. Upgrade on Hoglander.
This should be a no-brainer claim for Van. JBD probably is only a slight upgrade on Juulsen.. but it allows you to bump Juulsen down to 7th D and start McWard in Abby.
Vancouver has a glut of wingers.. but Sokolov could be interesting as well. He would come at the expense of someone like Aman/Studnicka, but Toch has talked a lot about getting bigger wingers who can play off the wall and he would check those boxes.
Athletics Write Up if anyones interested:
> The clock is now starting to tick on Bernard-Docker becoming the defensively reliable, complementary D partner that the Sens were hoping he’d become when they drafted him in the first round back in 2018. Whether he makes the jump full time or not, this will be his last year on this list because of his age. I still think he gets there, though. JBD’s game has always been better than his statical profile, which can make a player more difficult to explain.
> His game doesn’t have a ton of dimension to it but it also doesn’t really have any holes in it. His wrister comes off his blade hard and he does a good job crossing over through his footwork to place it through lanes or take space off the blue line. He’s a heads-up outlet passer who can occasionally stretch the ice. He plays through layers fine as a passer. His stride is fairly powerful, pushing him through neutral ice to join or occasionally lead rushes.
> And then defensively, he’s an impressive one-on-one defender, funneling carriers to the outside and playing physically on gaps at the right time. He’s also sound positionally within his own zone, rarely chasing the play or losing his man in coverage. He lacks soft skill for the NHL level but I still like him as a solid and effective no-fuss two-way third-pairing defenceman.
