Among the big names that have hit the waiver-wire are some former NHL stars such as Wayne Simmonds and Nick Foligno. Additionally, there have been quite a few former first-round picks who were selected as high as the top 10, including Tyson Jost.
In fact, the highest drafted player to hit the waiver-wire this season was none other than Alex Galchenyuk, who was picked third overall in his draft year. The fact that players of this caliber are being placed on waivers is a testament to the unique challenges that this season has presented.
In the latest waiver news, the Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they are placing defenceman Mark Friedman on waivers.
