NHL Waiver Wire: Complete list of players placed on waivers before 2023-24 NHL season

Today was the last day for NHL waivers before the start of 2023-24 season. Multiple players' waivers have have been claimed by teams as they finalize their rosters for opening night.

NHL waivers were initially introduced in the 1950s as a mechanism for teams to transfer a player from NHL rosters to the minors.

For players on a one-way contract, indicating they are exclusively committed to the NHL, placing them in the minors requires them to go through the waiver process. When a player is placed on waivers, every NHL team has the opportunity to claim that player.

It's important to note that there is no cost associated with making a waiver claim, but the team that successfully claims the player assumes the responsibility for their full salary and must include them on their NHL roster.

In cases where multiple teams attempt to claim the same player on waivers, the team with the poorest record would be awarded the player.

A player placed on waivers is subject to a 24-hour waiver period. If no team claims the player during this time, they will be sent down to the minors.
