Two put on waivers
Chris Johnston: The Detroit Red Wings placed defenseman Danny DeKeyser on waivers. The Tampa Bay Lightning placed defenseman Andrej Sustr on waivers.
Helene St. James: DeKeyser is a Red Wings alternate captain. They put him on waivers to clear a roster spot for forward Jakub Vrana.
Danny Dekeyser is on waivers for DET. I hope he is enjoying a nice 32nd birthday with his family and enjoying the $5 million he’s made this season. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/aNfAc2qOpq

NHL to cut off communication with the KHL
Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff: Russia’s attack on Ukraine has led to the NHL to suspend their Memorandum of Understanding and severing communication. The NHL sent a memo to teams to stop directly or indirectly contacting the KHL and their teams, and player agents.
NHL teams are able to sign any KHL players who are free agents. They can also talk with their Russian players and prospects and to the agents who are North American based.
