Brock McGinn, Mark Friedman both clear waivers
Just two days ahead of the NHL’s trade deadline, two Penguins players who had been placed on waivers went without being picked up, meaning the team may not be getting some salary cap relief they were looking for.
Brock McGinn and Mark Friedman clear waivers.
If they're both re-assigned to AHL, Penguins will have around $4M in prorated salary-cap space to make a move before NHL trade deadline.
Could have had $5.7M had McGinn been claimed.

If the players end up assigned to the AHL, the team will receive minimal salary cap relief.
