Waivers season has begun again. It is now possible to cut non-exempt players to the minors and, of course, to lose them on waivers.
Here’s the things you need to know:
All players enter the NHL exempt from waivers, with the rare exception of players signed like Harri Säteri up there who need entry waivers. Waivers exemption expires based on seasons and games played. The Maple Leafs have no players who are likely to be on the regular season roster who are exempt, barring some younger forwards who might stick around until the injuries clear up.
Waivers were announced at noon, and teams have 24 hrs to make a claim.
