Put on waivers was forward J.T. Wyman. That was done, Lightning assistant general manager Julien BriseBois said, because of an AHL rule that players who did not finish a previous season with an AHL club and were not on a Clear Day (playoff-eligible) list, must pass through waivers to be assigned to an AHL team.

Quote:

In addition, BriseBois said "the hope is" forwards Mike Angelidis and Pierre-Cedric Labrie, and defensemen Keith Aulie, Evan Oberg and Matt Taormina, will be signed to minor league contracts to avoid passing them through waivers on their way to Syracuse.

This team is scarier than last years, and this is saying something.

Man Syracuse should change their name to the Syracuse Champs
