Ben Shelley: Hurricanes place Jake Gardiner on waivers

If nobody claimed Derek Ryan from the Flames at the beginning of the year, I can't see anobody claiming Gardiner.

Not a chance he’s claimed. Zero

I'm just hoping the leafs don't claim him.

Doubt he gets claimed. If another team wants bad enough they can try to get Carolina to hold 1-2 mil and go trade route.

Islanders captain, Anders Lee placed on injury reserve, BEN!

Canes likely to expose Skjei and Gardiner to Seattle and protect Slavin, Pesce and Fleury

and then sign Dougie Hamilton to his next contract after expansion draft is done

Have you looked at Fleury's point total? He has been the least productive of the defense and he is not great on the back end. If he is around he is likely to be exposed in the expansion draft. With his play since being inserted into the lineup Jake Bean is much more likely to be protected in the expansion draft.
