On waivers
Boston Bruins: The Bruins put defenseman Mike Reilly on waivers.
- Ty Anderson: “If Reilly is claimed, Bruins can squeak under cap and activate McAvoy. If Reilly goes unclaimed, moving Forbort to LTIR will be next step. Kicking can down the road, essentially.”
Elliotte Friedman: The Ottawa Senators placed defenseman Nikita Zaitsev and goaltender Magnus Hellberg on waivers.
- Steve Warne: “The Sens have placed defenceman Nikita Zaitsev on waivers. There’s no chance he’ll be claimed. He’s signed through next season at a cap hit of $4.5 million.”
- Shawn Simpson: “Zaitsev on waivers. Another team is willing to put in a claim that’s on his 10 team no trade? Dorion is finally removing the player from the roster so Smith won’t use him anymore? What ever it is, this has been a terrible move from day 1, and a total waste of 4.5 million annually”
