Several NHL teams, including the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, have moved to place players on waivers ahead of the trade deadline, a common strategy to explore potential deals before the final hours of the market. The waiver wire tactic allows clubs to temporarily expose players to other teams, creating opportunities for last-minute transactions. With the deadline approaching, speculation is growing over which players may be traded or recalled from the minors. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how these moves impact roster construction in the final days.
