Lavoie was claimed off waivers by Vegas from Edmonton on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Lavoie was also taken off waivers by the Golden Knights from the Oilers on Monday. Vegas then tried to send him to the minors by waiving him Tuesday, but Edmonton reclaimed him Wesnesday. Typically when a player heads back to his original team via waivers, that franchise can then simply send him to the minors, but that couldn't happen in Lavoie's case because a third team put in a claim. Edmonton consequently put Lavoie on waivers yet again Thursday. If Vegas was the only team to claim Lavoie this time, then he can be reassigned to the AHL, but if another team put in a claim again, then Vegas will be back in the position of either keeping him in the NHL or placing him on waivers.
