Lots of waiver activity this afternoon which means something could be up around the league.
*-> The Calgary Flames have placed winger Ales Kotalik on re-entry waivers this afternoon, it's expected that Kotalik will clear and be loaned overseas. Not many teams showed interest the first time around in Kotalik so not much is expected to change.
*-> The Nashville predators have placed sniper Marek Svatos on waivers, he might spark a little interest as he was snatched from the St. Louis Blues the 1st time around. Could the Blues go for a revenge claim.
*-> The Flyers have also waived their incosistent European winger Nikolay Zherdev as predicted, this comes with a presumed possible move in the near future for the Flyers. Several teams have expressed interest in Zherdev, it was rumored several days ago that up to 6 teams were looking at Zherdev. Some are saying the Atlanta Thrasher and or the Toronto Maple Leafs both have had interest.
*-> The Sabre's have surprisingly placed Craig Rivet on waivers also. A strange move by the Sabre's and I'd be shocked if he goes unclaimed. Many teams are looking for some veteran experience and Rivet fits the bill. The Chicago Blackhawks may be interested as were the San Jose Sharks and the Montreal Canadiens. This may mean the Sabre's could be preparing to take some cap back the other way in a future trade. John Michael Liles? Alexander Semin?
*-> The Boston Bruins have signed Shane Hnidy to a try-out contact. Hnidy a former Bruin is a current free agent while the Bruins look to get a depth defenseman.
