Something just weird and trivial came to me: Do waivers start tomorrow or Saturday?

and demote others to AHL

I believe that makes Chris Bourque the first player cut from training camp who requires waivers to go to AHL.

 

[PrOuLx]

Seems right!

I knew about the 12 day period but couldn't figure out if that was the 30th or October 1st.

I guess we'll find out today.

My understanding is it starts today, but that means waiver submission starts today, so you won't see players clearing or being claimed until tomorrow.

per Aaron Portzline

Forward Aaron Palushaj, who is in Blue Jackets' training camp on a professional tryout agreement, is close to finalizing an AHL contract with the Jackets' minor-league affiliate in Cleveland.

Surprised he didn't last longer.

Called it!

It's not surprising to see CBJ being active on the PTO front as they had a very quiet offseason.

And when I mean quiet, I actually mean the most quiet offseason ever...

Aside from first-year pros, the only new faces are Sam Gagner (UFA) and Scott Harrington (acquired for Kerby Rychel)... They didn't even sign anyone from outside the organisation to a NHL two-way contract or a AHL deal.

Therefore, it's clear that they need to fill some depth and Palushaj looks like a great fit as a AHL depth guy. However, in a scenario where their try-outs are not successful, I don't know if guys like Stoll, Brown, Dwyer and/or MA Bergeron would be willing to play in the AHL.

Stoll and Brown have been NHL regulars for a long time while Bergeron and Dwyer have turned to Europe when their NHL careers were fading away.

Here is the confirmation of the Palushaj signing

The AHL’s defending Calder Cup Champions, the Cleveland Monsters, proudly powered by Constellation, announced Friday that the team signed 27 year-old forward Aaron Palushaj to an AHL contract for the 2016-17 season.

By the way, Spiro Goulakos who attended NYR' camp has signed a AHL contract with Hartford.

Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack has signed defenseman Spiro Goulakos to an AHL contract.

As an elementary school classmate of Spiro, I'm quite thrilled by this news! (École St-Clément represent!)

There were no surprises. The Panthers cut goalies Colin Stevens, Mike McKenna and Sam Brittain, as well as young forwards Juho Lammikko, Chase Balisy, Graham Black and Anthony Greco. Also, defensemen Michael Downing and Josh Brown were sent down.

The Panthers also released centers Bo Horvat and Stephen MacAulay, as well as forward Justin Fontaine from their professional tryouts. That leaves just defenseman Adam Pardy on a PTO.

I'm pretty sure he meant Ryan Horvat...

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today goaltender Jake Hildebrand has been released from his tryout agreement. The team's active roster now includes 28 forwards, 16 defensemen and five goaltenders.
