Rosen was placed on waivers by the Blues on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Rosen hasn't appeared in a regular-season NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, and he appears set to begin the upcoming campaign in the minors as long as he clears waivers.

He signed a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Sept. 8. If he clears waivers and reports to AHL San Jose, he could be a call-up option for the Sharks in the 2026-27 campaign if goaltending injuries occur.

Vilen was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

Vilen will head to the waiver wire Sunday with New Jersey's intention to have him return to AHL Utica. Across 61 regular-season outings with the Comets in 2025-26, the 23-year-old blueliner posted 23 assists and 27 points. While he likely won't play more than a handful of games for New Jersey in the 2026-27 season, he should have ample opportunities to develop in the AHL.

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.

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.
