TAMPA, Fla. -- Brock McGinn and Mark Friedman both cleared waivers when the NHL's waiver period ended at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
Both players are now eligible to be re-assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, though they don't have to be. Players can play up to 10 NHL games or spend up to 30 days on the active roster after clearing waivers before they would need to clear again to be sent down.
Friedman's entire $775,000 cap hit comes off the books once he is assigned to the minors. Because McGinn's cap hit is higher at $2.
