Canucks put Akil Thomas on waivers

Vancouver can send the forward to Abbotsford if he clears waivers Wednesday.

The Vancouver Canucks put forward Akil Thomas on waivers Tuesday. The club intends to send him to the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League if he goes unclaimed.

Thomas, 26, signed a one-year, two-way deal with Vancouver in the offseason. He began the season on the Canucks’ non-roster injured list. He had nine goals and 22 points in 39 AHL regular-season games last season, split between the Ontario Reign and Springfield Thunderbirds.
