Greening, 28, has just one goal in 20 games with the Senators this season. It looks like he is heading to the AHL for the first time since 2010-11, after spending the last four years with the Sens.
Richards has never played an AHL game, but could be headed there now. If he is assigned to Manchester the Kings will get $925K of cap-relief, meaning Richards would represent $4.825M of dead cap space. The Kings will continue to explore trade options.
Richards, 29, has fallen a long way since being drafted 24th overall in 2003. He has a career-high of 80 points in 2008-09, but has registered just five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 47 games this season. The Kings have reportedly tried trading Richards as of late, but the last trade fell through last night. If someone elects to claim him, he comes with a $5.75 million US cap-hit.
Falk is currently out with a lower-body injury. He has been placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to Iowa (AHL).
Arcobello, who was originally traded to Nashville from Edmonton for Derek Roy, was placed on waivers yesterday and claimed by Pittsburgh this afternoon. He will join former Oilers teammate David Perron, who was traded to the Penguins in early January. Arcobello has 12 goals and 19 assists (31 points) in 82 career NHL games.
McMillan, 24, has one goal and two assist in 38 games with Arizona this season. If he clears waivers, he will be assigned to Portland (AHL).
Summers, 26, has registered three assists in 14 games with the Coyotes this season. If he clears waivers, he will be sent to Portland (AHL) where he had nine points (2G / 7A) in 48 games last year.
Arcobello has one goal in four games since being acquired from the Oilers. If he clears waivers, he will report to Milwaukee (AHL).
McGrattan has not played since December 6th. He has no points with a minus-2 rating in eight games. There is a small chance that he is claimed by another team, so expect him to go down to Adirondack (AHL).
Bickel has one assist and 46 PIMS in nine games with the Wild this season. He is unlikely to be claimed, so he will head to Iowa (AHL).
Jordan, 24, is a solid offensive defenseman who has seen power-play time with the Hurricanes, but has failed to record a point in 16 games since his recall. If he clears waivers he will be sent to Charlotte (AHL), where he has two goals and five assists in 15 games.
Boychuk, 25, is a former first-round pick (14th overall in 2008) but hasn’t panned out as the Hurricanes would have hoped. He has six points (3G / 3A) in 31 games this season, so they have placed him on waiver with the intent of sending him to Charlotte.
Winnipeg has placed Brouillette on waivers with the intent to send him down to St. John’s. This move is likely good news on the injury front. Zach Bogosian has been practicing as of late and appears close to a return. Brouillette’s return to the AHL would make way for Bogosian to return tomorrow night in Arizona.
The Flyers recalled White from his conditioning stint with Lehigh Valley this morning, but have placed him on waivers this afternoon with the intention of sending him back to the AHL.
Allen has appeared in just five games with the Canadiens after being acquired from the Ducks. He missed an extended period of time with an illness, but has been a healthy scratch in the last five games.
Schlemko has one goal and three assists in 20 games with the Coyotes this season. He has also registered one goal and three assists in two games with Portland (AHL). The 27-year-old blue liner has 50 career points (9G / 41A) in 207 NHL games.
Hackett has not played this season because he is recovering from offseason knee surgery. He is obviously close to being healthy and the Sabres want to send him dow so he can start for Rochester since they have two capable goalies at the NHL level. The question now is will he clear waivers?
The move to place Paajarvi on waivers opens the door for the Blues to keep all three goalies (Elliott, Brodeur and Allen) on the roster together for the time-being. Paajarvi has one assist and a minus-2 rating in 10 games this season.
Injury and poor play have limited Heatley to just six games with the Ducks this season. He has no points and a minus-3 rating. The former 50-goal scorer has a rather inexpensive contract and it will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on him.
Fraser, 24, has registered three goals in 24 games with the Bruins this season. Fraser is a big-body at 6-foot-1, 204 lbs. and plays a physical brand of hockey. As a corresponding move, the Oilers placed Steve Pinnoztto on waivers, so expect Fraser to slide into his spot in the lineup.
