— PuckPedia (@PuckPedia) September 28, 2025All 23 players are now available to be claimed by the other 31 teams in the league. The order in which teams have priority for claiming players is based on the inverse order of the 2024-25 NHL standings until November 1st, at which point the order will be based on the inverse of the 2025-26 standings.
The complete list is as follows:
Anaheim Ducks: Jan Mysak
Buffalo Sabres: Zachary Jones, Jake Leschyshyn
Columbus Blue Jackets: Hudson Fasching, Brendan Gaunce, Mikael Pyyhtia
Chicago Blackhawks: Dominic Toninato
Colorado Avalanche: Ronald Attard
Dallas Stars: Kyle Capobianco, Kole Lind, Antonio Stranges
Montreal Canadiens: Alex Belzile, Nathan Clurman, Lucas Condotta, Marc Del Gaizo, Sean Farrell
New Jersey Devils: Ryan Schmelzer
St. Louis Blues: Matt Luff, Corey Schueneman
Tampa Bay Lightning: Ryan Fanti, Simon Lundmark, Scott Sabourin, Steven Santini
Farrell is a 2020 fourth-round pick by the Canadiens, who has played just six games in the NHL up to this point, all coming in the 2022-23 season. He got one goal in those six games. He spent the entirety of the 2024-25 season in the AHL with the Laval Rocket, where he had 20 goals and 24 assists for 44 points in 67 games, and three goals and seven assists for 10 points in 13 playoff games.
Brendan Gaunce is the most experienced player on the wire, as the former 2012 26th-overall pick has got into 189 NHL games in his career. He had one assist in 12 games with the Minnesota Wild last season, as well as 15 goals and 14 assists for 29 points in 39 games with the Iowa Wild in the AHL.
All 20 players that were placed on Saturday’s waiver wire cleared and will report to their respective AHL teams.
