The Montreal Canadiens have claimed defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets.

Kovacevic spent most of the year with AHL Manitoba where he put up 11 goals and 19 assists in 62 games, both career-bests.

The Montreal Canadiens finally used their priority advantage on waivers to pluck Jonathan Kovacevic on waivers from the Winnipeg Jets.

Just because the Canadiens claimed someone today, doesn’t meant they’re necessarily done using waivers to round out their team. It could be a significant advantage for them to pounce on some potential at positions of need, as they continue to look to improve their roster and develop talent. The priority will be retained, despite making a previous claim, up until November 1. It’s also important to note that the Montreal Canadiens have not lost their priority to put a claim on another player moving forward. The Canadiens cannot send him to the Laval Rocket without once again putting him through waiers. The 6’4, 208lbs right-shot defenceman is an interesting pickup for the club, as he had shown some significant progress in his play while suiting up for the Manitoba Moose over the last three years.

They may have the opportunity to pick up another body if they see someone who fits the mold of what they are looking to add. He’s still on the younger side with a chance to settle in. It may not be the most exciting move or one that allows them to add in a defender. This leaves room in the core for another player to step up. It may not be an eye-popping move or a name that sticks out, but it allows for some depth at the minimum. He is a 25-year-old Canadian-born defender who has logged all of four NHL games in the NHL.
