The Washington Capitals have placed a player on waivers just 7 days after giving up a draft pick to get him.

According to a report from NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Capitals have placed goaltender Remi Poirier on waivers just 7 days after they gave up a 2027 7th round draft pick in a trade with the New Jersey Devils to bring Poirier to Washington. Poirier hasn't so much as played a single game for the Capitals so far and will now be eligible to be claimed by any rival NHL team that wishes to do so, including the Devils who could double dip as a result of this move.

Poirier wasn't the only player on waivers on Sunday however, he is joined by 27 year old Blackhawks goaltender Arvid Soderblom who has also been waived today. The Blackhawks have been a bit of a mess this season and are desperately searching for answers anywhere they can find them, but it seems Arvid Soderblom won't be one of those answers.

Soderblom has appeared in 5 games for the Blackhawks this season but has struggled with a 4.67 goals against average and a .842 save percentage over that stretch. The decision to waive him comes as little surprise and in the case of the Blackhawks there's no telling what move they might be cooking up next as things get a bit desperate in Chicago.
