The Seattle Mariners have claimed right-handed pitcher Collin Snider off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks, filling their 40-man roster. Waiver claims in MLB often result in players being put back on waivers or stashed as Triple-A depth. In the NHL, teams utilize waiver wire as a bargain bin, with some successful acquisitions in the past three seasons highlighted by reporter Chris.

New, for @TheAthletic: Improving your team through the NHL's waiver wire is akin to bargain shopping. But some claims pay off. Breaking down the best waiver claims over the last three NHL seasons. https://t.co/yrb1PM9ttZ https://t.co/yrb1PM9ttZ
Note on waiver claims, especially this time of year: MLB teams often claim players off waivers and quickly put them right back on waivers. If they get claimed, so be it. If they pass through unclaimed, they can be stashed as Triple-A depth without taking up 40-man roster spots.
Signing good older veterans in the NHL to one year deals and paying them slightly more to sign pays off. If you’re contending, you keep them. If you’re not, you trade them at the deadline (you can even retain $ since it’s only 1 year) Tarasenko @Senators is the perfect example
