The Athletic’s Corey Pronman and Harman Dayal are providing daily analysis of the top players on waivers. Once a player is waived, other teams have 24 hours to claim them.

As teams continue to assess their needs and roster configurations, waivers provide an opportunity for players to find new homes and potentially make an impact at the NHL level. The daily analysis provided by Pronman and Dayal offers insight into the talent available on the waiver wire, highlighting the depth and variety of players looking to secure a spot in the league.
