All of these players have been NHLers at points in their careers and certainly could be on a different team. With Pittsburgh placing these players on waivers, it is proof that they are a very deep team that can afford to make tough decisions like this.
These are just five of the 40 total players placed on waivers today. There are more talented players available like Zach Bogosian, Martin Jones, and Raphael Lavoie available so it is likely that Dubas will not lose out on any of these players.
