Buffalo Sabres goaltender Aaron Dell among 29 placed on waivers

Wednesday was a busy day for NHL teams getting their rosters in order ahead of the 2021-22 season starting in seven days. In total, 29 players were placed on waivers on Wednesday including Buffalo Sabres netminder Aaron Dell, and Philadelphia Flyers 2016 first round pick German Rubtsov.

Aaron Dell of the Buffalo Sabres was an interesting name to see on the waiver wire on Wednesday, but was not totally unexpected. As Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said in his 32 Thoughts blog post, "Dustin Tokarski, one of the good stories from Buffalo, is pushing Craig Anderson and Aaron Dell for a spot in the Sabres' net. Dell has particularly struggled, and with only one pre-season game to go, has put himself in a precarious position."

Here is the full list of players on waivers today per TSN's Chris Johnston: Alexander Volkov (ANA), Steven Fogarty (BOS), Aaron Dell (BUF), Jimmy Schuldt (BUF), Stefan Matteau (COL), Roland McKeown (COL), Kiefer Sherwood (COL), Dylan Sikura (COL), Michael Pezzetta (MTL), Andy Andreoff (NYI), Cole Bardeau (NYI), Austin Czarnik (NYI), Grant Hutton (NYI), Otto Koivula (NYI), Paul LaDue (NYI), Dmytro Timashov (NYI), Mitchell Vande Sompel (NYI), Parker Wotherspoon (NYI), Connor Bunnaman (PHI), Adam Clendening (PHI), Gerald Mayhew (PHI), German Rubtsov (PHI), Kole Lind (SEA), Max McCormick (SEA), Joey Anderson (TOR), Carl Dahlstrom (TOR), Brennan Menell (TOR), Brett Seney (TOR) and Jonah Gadjovich (VAN).

All players on Tuesday's waivers cleared including Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Michael Hutchinson.
