Teams are cutting their rosters down to size in preparation for the 2022-23 season, which means we have players getting cut and placed on waivers. Most waived players thus far have cleared with a select few getting scooped up by competitors. Everyone from yesterday's group cleared, but I have a feeling that might not be the case tomorrow.
Today's group features some high-profile candidates, so expect one or two more to get claimed, as there are a couple teams fielding borderline AHL teams right now.
Looking at you, Arizona and Chicago.
Full waivers list, October 7:
- Nick Foligno (Boston) - Keith Kinkaid (Boston) - Joona Koppanen (Boston) - Vinni Lehteri (Boston) - Daniel Renouf (Boston) - Jayson Megna (Colorado) - Jordan Martinook (Carolina) - Anton Khudobin (Dallas) - Mattias Janmark (Edmonton) - Slater Koekkoek (Edmonton) - Calvin Pickard (Edmonton) - Dmitri Samorukov (Edmonton) - Lias Andersson (Los Angeles) - Steven Fogarty (Minnesota) - Andreas Johnsson (New Jersey) - Brian Pinho (New Jersey) - Johnny Brodzinksi (New York Rangers) - Kevin Connauton (Philadelphia) - Troy Grosenick (Philadelphia) - Matthew Highmore (St. Louis) - Martin Frk (St. Louis) - Klim Kostin (St. Louis) - Justin Dowling (Vancouver) - Johnathan Kovacevic (Winnipeg)
You can color me shocked if everyone from this group clears waivers. With the preseason winding down, expect more surprises like today's.
