It took only the first day of waivers for the Colorado Avalanche to get poached as they tried to get the first batch of their cuts down to the Colorado Eagles. Again it was goaltender Jonas Johansson who struck the fancy of another organization as it was the Arizona Coyotes who pounced and will give him a look for their backup goaltender position. If they choose to waive Johansson the Avalanche will have the opportunity to claim him back so there exists the possibility that he could return at some point. Everyone else the Avalanche waived cleared including defenseman Brad Hunt and can be assigned to the Eagles.
