I wouldn't put a claim, I would wait for him to clear waivers and become a FA. I like him as a replacement for Olave. Olave's ideal role is a slot guy as he's too fragile to play X and too finesse to play Z, so slot is kinda where he would need to play, but then then's he fragile and finesse.
Kirk would be good replacement as a primary slot guy who can play X, Y or Z.
At 5'10" 200lbs, he has 9 7/8" hands and a RBS of 2.85 which are both excellent.
If we keep Olave, maybe he gets more durable and can play the Z. He doesn't need to be going across the middle.
