The Vancouver Canucks have made a roster move, as they have placed Lane Pederson on waivers.

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Lane Pederson has been placed on waivers for the purpose of being reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL).

Pederson was traded to the Canucks earlier this season, where he has since split time between the AHL

and NHL. In 10 games with the Canucks on the year, he has one goal and two assists. However, while with the Abbotsford Canucks before, he was on fire, as he had 17 goals and 24 points in just 18 games.

Teams looking for a depth forward could consider the idea of claiming Pederson off of waivers from here. After all, he was dominant in the AHL this season before being called up, but we will need to wait and see what happens with the 25-year-old forward from here.
