Several NHL teams have placed multiple players on waivers for the purpose of assignment. The Boston Bruins have placed Jesper Boqvist, Oskar Steen, and Jakub Zboril on waivers. The New York Islanders have placed Ross Johnston on waivers. The waivers process allows teams to assign players to their minor league affiliates. It has been confirmed that all players placed on waivers have cleared, meaning they will report to their respective minor league teams. This is a common procedure for teams to manage their roster and ensure compliance with roster and salary cap requirements.
#Isles will be on the ice this morning. We have #NHL action tonight, but NYI has to wait four more days to get their party started. If you missed it yesterday, Johnston was placed on waivers, and Holmstrom was sent down, for now, to be compliant.
After a few seasons where this seemed to be a possibility given his role, the #Isles have placed Ross Johnston on waivers. This move doesn't help NYI become roster/cap compliant ahead of tonight's deadline. @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/apYMd31plx https://t.co/apYMd31plx
I believe the #Isles are going to designate Ross Johnston as a non-roster while he's on waivers, but working on getting clarification now on rules. That would mean no other moves need to be made before 5 PM deadline. Will update you guys once I can confirm.
Placed on NHL waivers today: Ross Johnston (NYI).
