Brenden Dillon, a defenseman for the Winnipeg Jets, suffered an upper-body injury during a game. He exited the game and won't return due to a back injury. The Jets placed Declan Chisholm on waivers, indicating a potential positive development for Dillon. There is uncertainty about Chisholm's future in the NHL.
Declan Chisholm, placed on waivers by the #NHLJets, was once described to me as the sort of player who should be claimed on waivers but often isn't. I am optimistic that he has an NHL career in him but I can't say I know what his immediate future holds. We'll find out shortly.
I suspect the Jets feel they can slip Declan Chisholm through today. They could have kicked this can down the road for another week. Likely suggests good news on the Brenden Dillon front after Dillon exited last night's game after tweaking something in his back.
