Is it all in an attempt to sign Nashville’s Dan Hamhuis?

“acquire” not “sign” Hamhuis.

and could we just be waiting on Cote/Syvret to clear waivers?

They will clear waivers at noon today. I’m not sure how transactions made at night work, so I can’t say whether they could’ve announced last night, but they are definitely not waiting for waivers now. If they announce a transaction this morning, they don’t have to get back under the cap until 5pm today, well after waivers on Syvret and Cote have been determined.

Seravalli is saying the Predators are interested in both Parent and Coburn. As I’ve said many times before, if Coburn is traded, a pick better be coming back.
