After a large lump some of 43 players got dumped on NHL waivers on October 5, several assets were pointed out that could severely benefit organizations if they made a claim.
Each NHL team has until 2:00 p.m today to submit a waiver claim, and many names are expected to be claimed off of this batch of waivers.
Michael DiPietro is one to watch, who is reportedly going to be claimed by the Toronto Maple Leafs or Calgary Flames.
A name that's flying under the radar is Ville Heinola, a former 20th overall pick and a 24 year old left-shot Finnish defenseman.
Steve Yzerman loves his European players, and with the Detroit Red Wings struggling on the back end in their prospect pool, he could instantly improve the crop.
