Hurricanes' Ty Rattie: Waived on Saturday

Rattie was placed on waivers by the Hurricanes on Saturday.

Analysis:

Despite hearing his name called by the Blues in the second round (32nd overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Rattie has now failed to impress the bosses running the show in St. Louis and Carolina, with this being his second time on waivers during the 2016-17 campaign. He's known for his hockey smarts, but tends to be lax defensively and that's a big turnoff for NHL clubs trying to be competitive. Assuming he clears waivers, Rattie should wind up with AHL Charlotte.
