Ducks Claim McIver Off Waivers from Canucks

The Anaheim Ducks on Saturday announced they have claimed defenseman Nathan McIver off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks. Last season with the Canucks, McIver had no points and 52 penalty minutes in 17 games. In two season with the Canucks, McIver has played in 18 games and scored no points while amassing 59 penalty minutes. The Canucks are pretty deep in defensive talent so McIver was not likely to see much playing time this season with the team. The Ducks get a very physical and rugged defenseman in McIver. Given the Ducks current depth on defense, McIver may not see much playing time on their team either.
