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).
Gormley was a healthy scratch in the last two games and has been placed on waivers after just 26 games with the Avalanche. He has just one assist on the season and his placement on IR suggests that Andrew Bodnarchuk will remain with the Avalanche. The former 13th overall pick will likely be claimed off of waivers.
Bodnarchuk appeared in 16 games with the Blue Jackets when their blueline was battling injury issues, but he has been a healthy scratch in the last three games and with David Savard back, Bodnarchuk finds himself on waivers for purpose of assignment.
Gagner has been out since November 23rd with a concussion and is now on waivers. If Gagner goes unclaimed, he will likely head to the AHL. The 2007 sixth overall pick’s NHL career could be in danger of coming to an end.
With Kyle Brodziak back in the lineup on Tuesday and Patrik Berglund nearing a return, Gomez is the odd man out. Being placed on waivers could signify the end of Gomez’s NHL career.
