There was another good wave of waived players today. In all, 16 athletes will know their fate in 24 hours.
William Nylander's brother, Alex, is one of the surprising ones.
We're talking about the 8th overall pick in 2016, who is performing at a high level in the AHL (50 points in 55 games last season) and has 93 games of NHL experience, totalling 40 points.
Without a doubt, he's an excellent AHL player who can really help a team in the NHL too. A good insurance policy.
