34 NHL players hit waivers Wednesday, as roster cuts ramp up

Wednesday turned into one of the busiest waiver days of the fall, with 35 names hitting the wire all at once, according to PuckPedia.

The Flyers led the way with six players waived, including Foote, Zach Aston-Reese, Cam Dineen, Carl Grundstrom, Danila Klimovich and Jack Studnicka, a striking sign of how crowded Philadelphia's bottom-six battle has become this camp.

The Golden Knights weren't far behind, waiving five players as Vegas continues shaping its depth chart heading into the regular season.

Every player who went through waivers Tuesday cleared without being claimed, which suggests teams around the league are being cautious with their own claim budgets this early in camp.

That trend could continue, since PuckPedia's waiver watch list shows several more names could still be sent down before rosters officially lock in for opening night across the NHL.

For fans tracking specific organizations, the Blue Jackets waived three players, the Avalanche two, the Red Wings two, the Maple Leafs two, the Canucks three and the Mammoth three, spreading the roster crunch across nearly every division in the league.

With this many players hitting waivers on the same day, expect a busy 24 to 48 hours around the league.

Claims will either get made or rosters will officially take shape ahead of the season opener for all 32 teams.

This is the best time of year to be a hockey fan as there are no shortages of moves.
