Today’s waiver list brought several surprises, but one name stands out in particular: Brendan Brisson.

The young center for the New York Rangers, son of the renowned agent Pat Brisson, has surprisingly made the list.

He immediately becomes one of the most intriguing players to be in this situation since the start of the season.

Claiming the young Brisson would be a smart move, giving a team like Montreal a way to win over Sidney Crosby‘s agent.

In addition to Brisson, the list also includes former Montreal Canadiens forward Anthony Richard, who played a few games in the Canadiens’ uniform before continuing his career elsewhere.

Another detail likely to catch attention in Montreal: Ryan Suzuki, the younger brother of Nick Suzuki, captain of the Canadiens, is also on the list.

This mix of names makes today’s waiver list particularly interesting for Canadiens fans.

Brisson is a 6-foot, 198-pound center, a first-round pick of the Vegas Golden Knights in 2020, and has been productive pretty much everywhere.

Do you think Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens should claim the young center Brendan Brisson?
