The NHL waiver wire is buzzing with activity this Tuesday.
A player from the Boston Bruins has been placed on waivers, and with the Montreal Canadiens having a high priority due to their standings, they might be eyeing this opportunity. Alec Regula is up for grabs, and if the Canadiens are interested, they have a good chance of claiming him.
At just 24 years old, Regula stands tall at 6-foot-4 and weighs 211 pounds. Drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 2018 as the 67th overall pick, he’s known for being a right-handed defenseman—a valuable asset! With experience in both the NHL and AHL, his stats are promising: 26 points in 55 games in 2024, 21 points in 51 games in 2023, and an impressive 26 points in only 41 games back in 2022. He made his way to the Bruins from the Blackhawks during the Taylor Hall trade. By Wednesday afternoon we’ll find out if he gets claimed; given his potential as a right-handed defenseman, it wouldn’t be shocking if he does.
