Trotman clears waivers, can join AHL roster
The Penguins are getting healthy, which is great, but it also means making extra efforts to balance salary cap complications and finding homes for all involved. Friday, the attention-grabbing move was trading Erik Gudbranson to create a roster spot and save salary space.
Zach Trotman was assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Monday for a conditioning assignment, but was waived Friday to clear additional space beyond that period. He cleared waivers today and is now eligible to be assigned to the AHL roster instead of the 14 days the conditioning period would have allowed.
