Vancouver Canucks place forward Aatu Raty on waivers
Raty appeared in just 4 of Vancouver’s 8 games, and the Canucks may send the 23-year-old center to Abbotsford if he clears waivers.
- On Wednesday, the Vancouver Canucks placed 23-year-old Finnish center Aatu Raty on waivers after he appeared in just four of the team's eight games this season.
- Filip Chytil's return from a preseason shoulder injury pushed Raty down the depth chart behind centers like Elias Pettersson and Marco Rossi, compounding his production struggles of 12 goals in 106 games.
- While Raty remains a faceoff specialist winning 56.8 per cent of his draws this season, he averaged just 10 minutes of ice time with one goal and a minus-2 rating.
- Other NHL teams have 24 hours to place a claim on the center, who carries an $812,500 cap hit, with Vancouver learning his status by 11 a.m. Thursday.
- Teams like Calgary or the New York Islanders might consider claiming him for his potential; if he clears waivers, Raty will be assigned to the AHL Canucks in Abbotsford.
