The Philadelphia Flyers have placed defenseman Helge Grans on waivers, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reports.
Grans was one of the Flyers’ prospects looking to earn a spot on the NHL roster out of training camp. However, now that Grans has been put on waivers, the rest of the league has the opportunity to claim him if they wish to.
If Grans clears waivers, the Flyers will be able to assign him to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. However, with Grans being a big and still young right-shot defenseman, it is fair to wonder if another team could claim him.
Grans played in his first six NHL games this past season with the Flyers, where he recorded one assist and two penalty minutes. In 66 games during the 2024-25 season with the Phantoms, he recorded eight goals, 15 assists, 23 points, and 42 penalty minutes.
