2 players have just been placed on waivers, including a former member of the Canadiens organization
We have the first names on the NHL waivers. As reported by the reputable Elliotte Friedman in the last few minutes, two players have been placed on waivers, both from the Vancouver Canucks.
These are the first names, but they clearly won't be the last to be available on waivers. It's just the beginning.
