On Tuesday the Panthers placed forward Paul Thompson and defenseman Dylan McIlrath on waivers.
If unclaimed by noon on Wednesday, it’s expected that both will report to the Springfield Thunderbirds, Florida’s AHL affiliate.
McIlrath was acquired by the Panthers in exchange for Steven Kampfer earlier this season but has played just one game since December 15th.
