Anaheim - Nathan Oystrick
Edmonton - Ethan Moreau, Robert Nilsson, Patrick O’Sullivan
Tampa Bay - Todd Fedoruk
New York Rangers - Donald Brashear, Patrick Rissmiller, Aaron Voros
As for the players who were waived yesterday that we told you about, they all cleared waivers and are officially eligible to be bought out if their teams decide to do that.
