Ex-Chicago Blackhawks NHL Hopes Are Down The Drain After Recent Transaction

As the NHL regular season approaches, teams are making roster moves, including placing players on waivers. Today, 12 players hit the waiver wire, with 11 having NHL experience. This step allows teams to send qualified players to the AHL if needed, but it doesn't guarantee an immediate demotion. NHL teams have a window of 30 days or 10 games played from the original waiver clearance date to make the move without re-waiving.

The players waived today include:

Anaheim Ducks: D Robert Hägg, D Colton White
Boston Bruins: F Jayson Megna
Buffalo Sabres: F Brett Murray
Minnesota Wild: F Jujhar Khaira, F Vinni Lettieri, D Dakota Mermis, F Nic Petan
New Jersey Devils: D Callan Foote
Nashville Predators: F Mark Jankowski
San Jose Sharks: D Leon Gawanke
Winnipeg Jets: F Jeffrey Viel

Among them is Jujhar Khaira, formerly with the Chicago Blackhawks, now with the Minnesota Wild. As teams finalize their rosters, these players await their fate, with potential opportunities in the NHL or the AHL on the horizon.
