Link: Canucks put Kyle Wellwood on waivers.
Wellwood has played just one game of the Canucks' four games so far this season -- registering no points in the 5-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
In training camp he was criticized by coach Alain Vigneault for poor conditioning, but had shown improvement in that area.
All I can say is...if my employer relied on me to be in top physical condition when I showed up for work on the first day of being hired...I woulda been fired too.
Wellwood reminds me of the basketball playground legends of the 70's. Guys that had style, moves and hands...but lacked the overall grasp of the game and conditioning to put it out night after night. Wellwood had the hands, he showed that in pre season in shoot outs and in games...but he lacked the stamina needed. Maybe a few weeks in Winnipeg will help with that conditioning.
