Colorado waives goaltender Trent Miner
The Colorado Avalanche placed 25-year-old goaltender Trent Miner on waivers on Saturday. Miner has been on the injured/non-roster list this season and has not played yet. Last season, he posted a 1-0-3 record with a .933 save percentage and 2.03 goals-against average in four NHL appearances.
Colorado placed Miner, 25, on waivers Saturday. The other 31 NHL clubs may claim him; if he goes unclaimed, he can be assigned to the AHL. He started this season on the injured/non-roster list with an undisclosed injury and has not appeared in a game.
Last season, he made four NHL appearances for Colorado, going 1-0-3 with a .933 save percentage and 2.03 goals-against average. With the AHL Eagles, he was 17-8-5 (.904, 2.62) in 32 games, then 11-6 (.925, 1.87) in 17 playoff contests. He was a 2019 seventh-round pick.
This waiver move could affect Miner’s career path, as a claim might give him a new NHL opportunity while clearing waivers may mean more AHL time. Colorado’s goaltending depth and the Eagles’ roster could shift, and fans or fantasy managers tracking goalie situations may see short-term uncertainty. The broader impact may be limited to the hockey community.
