Overall, the NHL regular season is set to begin in just a few days which is very exciting for all of the hockey fans out there. Having said that, it is also a bit stressful for players who might be fringe NHLers.

Over the course of the last few days, we have seen dozens of players be placed on waivers. According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, 14 more players ere added to waivers today, which is always unfortunate to see. Anaheim, Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Minnesota, New York Rangers, and the Seattle Kraken all decided to place players on waivers. The Stars led the way here with a total of six players hitting the feared waiver wire.
