Winnipeg Jets Reporter Reveals Whether Or Not Declan Chisholm Will Get Claimed Off Waivers

Yesterday, as the Winnipeg Jets were enjoying a day off after yet another loss at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rick Bowness' team might have been off, but it didn't stop the team's management from making an official roster move.

Jets Place Defenseman on Waivers

In a major update, the Jets announced that they placed Declan Chisholm on waivers.




This move caught many fans by surprise. We will know today if he clears waivers or if another team decides to claim him.

A reporter shared a significant hypothesis about Chisholm's future in Winnipeg.

Reporter Believes Chisholm Will Get Claimed From Waivers

In a major twist, David Minuk from Illegal Curve mentioned that he doesn't believe Chisholm will clear waivers.


Chisholm, 24, was drafted in 2018 by the Jets in the fifth round.

Since then, he has mainly played in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose. He appeared in only four NHL games over his career and scored an assist.

Last season, with the Moose, he scored an impressive 43 points in 59 games, which could explain why Minuk believes he'll be claimed off the waivers.

Many teams around the NHL are looking for cheap reinforcement. Chisholm is a promising and young player, known for his great skating abilities and offensive prowess. There's no doubt that he could bring a lot to a team.
