Waiver Update-9/26/2011

Waiver Update-9/26/2011:
Today's Players Waived:

Interesting Possibilities: RW- Michal Repik (Panthers) - I am shocked by this....This is Grabner all over again. Repik at only 22 years old has done extremely well in the AHL, and has not been bad in the NHL. He has so much offensive talent, his hands are above average and he has good on-ice vision. I think this kid is NHL ready and I know he has high-end potential. D- Dennis Persson (Sabres) - Former 1st round draft pick who has been a bit of a disappointment thus far, but that can change. He is a good puck-mover and he see's the ice well, and he MIGHT have a lot more upside than people believe. He would definitely be a high risk, high reward type pick-up. LW- Christian Hanson (Capitals) - Young, physical forward that is solid in all three zones. Bottom-six forward, but he could end up being one of the better grinders out there. RW- Dan Sexton (Ducks) - Sexton is 24 years old, and he has played a good amount of NHL time. Ducks fans don't seem to like him too much, but there is no denying this kid has some talent. He is quick and he knows where to be on the ice. He has put up solid numbers and I believe he still has a lot more upside left that he hasn't reached yet. D- Mathieu Carle (Ducks) - He is one of the younger players on the waiver wire at 23 years old. He is a puck-moving defenseman that does a nice job distributing the puck in all three zones. He is not great in his own end, but he is still young. I think he has top-four upside.
