On Monday, 22 players were placed on waivers across the National Hockey League, making them available to the other 31 franchises.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest names on the most recent list of waiver players is Carolina Hurricanes <\/a>forward Skyler Brind\u2019Amour. The son of head coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour made his NHL debut late last season, playing in two games, scoring his first big-league goal against the Ottawa Senators <\/a>on April 17. The Raleigh, N.C. native had a solid performance with the Hurricanes\u2019 American Hockey League affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. In 68 games, he scored 16 goals and eight assists for 24 points. <\/p>\n Across two seasons in the AHL, Brind\u2019Amour has scored 10 goals and 13 assists for 32 points in 122 games, posting one assist in five Calder Cup Playoff games. He signed a one-year, two-way contract<\/a> with Carolina for the upcoming season. <\/p>\n The Minnesota Wild<\/a> placed four players on the wire, including forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel. The 29-year-old signed a one-year, two-way contract<\/a> with the Wild this past July after spending the 2024-25 season in the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> and New York Rangers <\/a>organizations. He played 19 games with the Sabres, including 12 with the AHL\u2019s Rochester Americans, before being traded to the Rangers<\/a> in March. He played just a few games with the Blueshirts and their primary affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In 22 NHL games last year, he scored a goal and an assist for two points. He also notched five goals and four assists for nine points in 15 AHL contests.<\/p>\n Of the two goaltenders placed on waivers on Monday, Vancouver Canucks<\/a> netminder Jiri Patera might be the most appealing. The Czech backstop was placed on the wire by the Canucks last October, only to be claimed<\/a> by the Boston Bruins<\/a>. However, he was put back on waivers after the Bruins re-signed Jeremy Swayman<\/a>, with the Canucks to re-claim him<\/a>. Through all that, Patera played just seven games with Vancouver\u2019s top farm team, the Abbotsford Canucks, posting a record of 2-2-2, with a 2.79 goals-against average, a .899 save percentage, and one shutout.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old has eight appearances in the NHL, all with the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. He has a record of 3-3-1 with a 3.57 GAA and a .902 SV%.<\/p>\n Insider Frank Seravalli released the full list<\/a> of players on waivers:<\/p>\n Carolina Hurricanes: Skyler Brind\u2019Amour, Ronan Seeley
