Robidas was placed on waivers by Carolina on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Robidas had 23 goals and 60 points in 58 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. He also registered an assist in two regular-season outings with Carolina. Although his inclusion on waivers suggests that he won't be part of the Hurricanes' Opening Night roster, Robidas might still get a shot with Carolina as the 2026-27 campaign progresses.

Sweezey was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Providence.

Sweezey rejoined the Bruins on a one-year, two-way contract in April and will head back to Providence to begin the 2026-27 campaign, assuming he clears waivers. The 30-year-old made 69 regular-season appearances with Providence last year and recorded a goal, 16 assists and 84 PIM.

Brind'Amour was waived by Carolina on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Brind'Amour had 16 goals, 34 points and 36 PIM in 68 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. He also has a goal in six career NHL regular-season outings with the Hurricanes. The 27-year-old is likely to spend the vast majority of the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Ford was designated for waivers by the Jets on Friday.

Ford logged 15 regular-season games for Winnipeg last year, producing one assist, 10 shots and 27 hits while averaging 9:45 of ice time. Assuming he clears waivers, the 26-year-old forward will be reassigned to AHL Manitoba, where he will likely play the bulk of his games.

Harris was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Providence.

Harris signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Bruins in July, but he'll be left off the Opening Night roster ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He made eight regular-season appearances with Boston last year and logged a goal, two assists, five hits and five blocked shots while averaging 15:54 of ice time.

Chibrikov landed on the waiver wire Friday.

Chibrikov was selected by the Jets in the second round of the 2021 NHL Draft, but he has only managed to make 16 appearances at the NHL level. At this point, the 23-year-old winger may benefit from a change of scenery, though his record may not be enough to warrant another team picking him up off waivers.

Heimosalmi was put on waivers by Carolina on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Heimosalmi had four goals, 17 points and 40 PIM in 52 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago in 2025-26. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't made his NHL debut.

Joseph was put on waivers by Carolina on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Joseph had a goal and six points in 31 regular-season appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. Based on his inclusion on waivers, it seems Joseph isn't slated to make the Hurricanes' Opening Night roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him summoned later in the campaign.

Phillips was placed on waivers Friday.

Phillips has logged just six regular-season NHL games over the past two seasons, generating one goal and six shots. Given his offensive limitations, even if Phillips is recalled during the season, he is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Halonen was placed on waivers by the Bruins on Friday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Providence.

Halonen made 15 regular-season appearances with the Devils last year and recorded a goal, an assist, 28 hits, nine PIM and two blocked shots while averaging 7:37 of ice time. He signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Bruins during the offseason and will head to the minors to begin the regular season, assuming he clears waivers. He generated 20 goals, 14 assists and 28 PIM across 51 regular-season outings with AHL Utica last year.
