Just 14 games into a new contract with the Florida Panthers and forward Rudolfs Balcers is with a new team. Balcers was placed on waivers Friday in order to make room for the returning Aaron Ekblad, who had missed 11 games with an injury. Balcers is now a member of Panthers' division rivals the Tampa Bay Lightning,

Balcers, who's also played for San Jose and Ottawa, was the only player on waivers Friday. It wasn't really suprising that he was nabbed. He is a perfectly serviceable player at minimum salary.
No new players hit the waiver wire on Saturday.
