Laczynski was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Laczynski signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with the Golden Knights during the offseason but will likely begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors if he clears waivers. He recorded 22 goals, 42 assists and 35 PIM across 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson last year and will be a candidate to be called up if the Golden Knights deal with injuries at some point this season.

Kolyachonok was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

Kolyachonok secured a one-year deal with New Jersey when free agency opened after he spent time between the Stars and Bruins in 2025-26. The 25-year-old blueliner posted a goal, two assists, a plus-two rating, 12 shots on net, five hits and 13 blocked shots across 13 regular-season appearances between Dallas and Boston. If he goes unclaimed, he will likely open the season with AHL Utica, but he could be brought up by New Jersey if they elect to shake things up on the blue line once again in the upcoming campaign.

Perbix was put on waivers Sunday, according to Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.

Perbix earned 10 assists, 13 points, 79 shots on net and 95 blocked shots in 79 appearances for Nashville during the 2025-26 regular season. If he clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Milwaukee.

Lyubushkin was placed on waivers Sunday, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports.

Lyubushkin earned nine points, 33 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 68 hits and 40 PIM in 53 appearances for Dallas during the 2025-26 regular season. Nashville acquired Lyubushkin in a trade with the Stars in July. If he clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Milwaukee.

White was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

White signed a one-year, two-way deal in late July after spending the 2025-26 campaign as the alternate captain for AHL San Jose. Across 46 regular-season outings for the Barracuda, the 29-year-old forward was efficient with 21 goals, 27 assists and 48 points. As long as he goes unclaimed, White will open the season with AHL Utica, but he could find his way back to the NHL if New Jersey suffers a handful of injuries to its forward core.

Rondbjerg was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Sunday, PuckPedia reports

Rondbjerg was limited to four regular-season appearances with the Golden Knights last year after making double-digit regular-season appearances in each of the previous four campaigns. He recorded 13 goals and 13 assists across his 43 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson during the 2025-26 campaign and will head back to the minors to begin the 2026-27 season as long as he clears waivers.

Lafferty was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Lafferty contributed one goal, two points, nine shots on net, five blocked shots and 35 hits in 29 games with Chicago during the 2025-26 regular season. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in the summer. If Laffery clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Charlotte.

Tufte was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

Tufte secured a one-year contract with New Jersey in the offseason after he spent the 2025-26 campaign in Boston's organization. He scored a goal across four games with Boston and was also effective with AHL Providence, where he posted 32 goals and 56 points across 64 regular-season outings. If he goes unclaimed over the next 24 hours, he'll open the 2026-27 campaign likely to play a large role for AHL Utica. Given that he was one of the last depth forwards on New Jersey's roster ahead of Sunday, he'll likely be one of the first names up from the minors if the team runs into injury trouble.

Tuomisto was waived by the Golden Knights on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Tuomisto signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with Vegas in early July but is slated to head to the minors for the start of the regular season if he clears waivers. He recorded eight goals, 21 assists and 34 PIM across 68 regular-season appearances with AHL Grand Rapids last year.

McLaughlin was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

McLaughlin re-upped with New Jersey in the offseason, where he signed a one-year, two-way deal to stay with the organization. He played seven games with New Jersey a season ago, but he primarily suited up for AHL Utica, where he recorded six goals and 14 points across 23 regular-season outings. The 27-year-old forward could see a handful of outings in the NHL again in 2026-27, but he will likely spend the majority of the campaign with the Comets.
