Skinner was placed on waivers by the Predators on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Skinner signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators in July, and he'll presumably begin the 2026-27 regular season in the minors if he clears waivers. He made 60 regular-season appearances with AHL Springfield last year and recorded seven goals, 12 assists and 61 PIM.

White was put on waivers by Columbus on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

White had a goal and seven points in 30 regular-season outings with AHL Utica in 2025-26. He also had four assists in 23 regular-season appearances with New Jersey last campaign. The 29-year-old is likely to begin the upcoming season in the minors.

Woo was put on waivers by Anaheim on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Woo had two goals, 10 points and 92 PIM in 43 AHL regular-season outings between Abbotsford and San Jose. The 26-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut and is projected to open the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Schueneman was waived by Anaheim on Friday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Schueneman had six goals and 31 points in 71 regular-season AHL appearances between Springfield and Hershey in 2025-26. The 31-year-old blueliner also has two goals and seven points in 35 career regular-season NHL games, but he didn't log any time at the top level in 2025-26.

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

Patera joined the Bruins on a one-year, two-way contract during the offseason and will head to the minors to begin the regular season, assuming he clears waivers. He made 30 regular-season appearances with AHL Abbotsford last year and went 12-14-4 with a 2.63 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Hamblin was placed on waivers by Anaheim on Friday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Hamblin had 27 goals and 41 points in 64 regular-season appearances in 64 regular-season outings with AHL Bakersfield. The 27-year-old is projected to spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the AHL.

Gregor was placed on waivers by Winnipeg on Friday.

Gregor was in action for 37 regular-season games with the Panthers last year, tallying four goals, five assists and 37 hits while averaging 9:34 of ice time. Despite his experience, it seems the 28-year-old center won't be starting the 2026-27 campaign in the NHL, heading to the minors if he clears waivers.

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.
