Condra had 11 points (6G / 5A) in 54 games in his first year with the Lightning, but finds himself on waivers, where he will likely clear and head to the AHL. If Condra is picked up by another team, he will be limited to a fourth line role.
Lander, 25, enjoyed a nice finish to the 2014-15 season, which led to high expectations last year. He was never able to live up to them, picking up an awful three points (1G / 2A) in 61 games with the Oilers. The former second round pick has been placed on waivers with the intention of sending him to Oklahoma City (AHL) and he should go unclaimed.
It was only a matter of time before Pavelec was placed on waivers. The veteran netminder is in the final year of a deal that carries a $3.9 million cap hit and he was badly outplayed by the future of the Jets’ crease, Connor Hellebuyck. They had to make room for the young netminder and Pavelec was the obvious casualty. There is little chance that he is claimed and there are rumblings that he may not report to Manitoba (AHL) if he does in fact clear.
Condon, 26, enjoyed a nice 2015-16 season while Carey Price was out, going 21-25-3 with a 2.71 GAA and .903 SV%. With Al Montoya coming over from Florida, Condon is either headed to the AHL or could be claimed by a team in need of short-term help in net because of injury, like the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Frk, 23, was a second round pick (49th overall) in 2012, but never cracked the Red Wings roster. The Czech winger appeared in 67 games with Grand Rapids (AHL) a season ago, collecting 27 goals and 17 assists (44 points). Frk will join his former teammate Andrej Nestrasil as waiver claims from Detroit in Carolina.
Rinaldo, who still owes the NHL time yet served on a five-game suspension from last season. If Rinaldo clears waivers he will head to Providence (AHL).
Vey, 25, spent all of last year with the Canucks organization, picking up just 15 points (4G / 11A) in 41 games at the NHL level. He was unable to crack the Flames opening night roster so if he clears waivers he will head to Stockton (AHL).
Mayfield, 23, was the 34th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, but has yet to make a big impact at the NHL level. The 6-foot-4, 225 lbs. blueliner has appeared in just 11 NHL games, tallying just one goal. There may be a team out there that lacks depth on the blueline that claims the St. Louis native.
Stoner has two seasons left on his contract that carries a $3.25M cap-hit. Waiving Stoner means that Shea Theodore may have earned himself a spot on the Ducks’ opening night roster or that they feel Josh Manson or Korbinian Holzer are just as good of options as Stoner for a significantly lesser cap-hit.
The Canadiens signed Charlie Lindgren to a two-year contract to finish the season out with the Canadiens. With his signing, Montreal had to make room on the roster, so they have placed Ben Scrivens on waivers. Scrivens was 5-8-0 with a 3.07 GAA and .906 SV% in 15 games since being acquired from Edmonton.
Warsofsky hasn’t played an NHL game since January 17th because of a concussion, but he recently returned from a AHL conditioning stint and now finds himself in a Devils’ uniform. Warsofsky has one goal and a minus-6 rating in 12 games this season.
Tough-guy Mike Brown has shifted in and out of the Sharks lineup this season, picking up one goal, two assists and 63 PIMS this season. The Canadiens have added him to give them a little extra grit in their bottom-6.
Benoit Pouliot is out long-term with a shoulder injury, so the Oilers went out and picked up another big body off of the waiver wire. The 30-year-old is 6-foot-2, 210 lbs. and has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 44 games with the Canucks this season.
Pardy has only appeared in 14 games with the Jets this season and was placed on waivers on Sunday. Pardy offers blueline depth for the Oilers, who will likely send some of their young defensemen to the AHL to get some extra conditioning before the 2016-17 season.
Wagner, 24, was a fifth round pick of the Ducks in 2010 and was with the Ducks’ organization from 2012-16 before being claimed off of waivers by the Avalanche in October. He now returns to Anaheim, where he will head to Norfolk (AHL).
