Guide

How NHL waivers work

83 waiver moves since June 1, most of them in the last days of training camp, when teams cut down to the roster limit. A player placed on waivers is not released: if nobody claims him he clears, and his team can send him to the minors.

How do waivers work?

A player who is not exempt has to clear waivers before he can be sent to the minors. Every other team then has about a day to claim him, and a team that claims him takes on his full contract. Young players are exempt for their first few professional seasons, depending on their age when they signed and the games they have played.

Who gets the first claim?

The team lowest in the standings by points percentage. Until November 1 the order follows last season’s final standings, so the worst teams from last season get first pick of the early-season wire.

Recalls, assignments and loans

Each NHL team has an AHL affiliate, and players move between them all season: recalled or called up to the NHL, assigned or loaned to the AHL. Teams also make emergency recalls when injuries leave them short, most often in goal. These moves rarely need waivers for young players, which is why the same names come and go every week.
