The chances that Habs forward Rem Pitlick will be claimed at 2pm are very high.
As reported by Marco Normandin, The Minnesota Wild, who lost the services of Pitlick last season, precisely in waivers, could claim him.
Also, Bill Guerin is looking to replace a few injured players in his lineup, like Ryan Hartman, and the Pitlick option would be interesting.
« Pitlick comes from the Wild organization so he is well known to the current staff. The Wild waived him last year out of obligation in the hopes that no team would want him. It would not be surprising if they took the opportunity to bring him back to the fold, as his modest contract could be very attractive. - Marco Normandin
Pitlick, 25, had 26 points in 46 games last season with the Tricolore. Unfortunately, he does not have a single point this season.
