Here is a listing of each players’ waiver status this season from the Habs to the IceCaps to any signed prospects not playing minor pro.
Any player with a status starting with “Exempt this season” means that regardless of NHL games played, the player must clear waivers in 2016-17. Re-Entry Waivers were eliminated with the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
All statuses are effective as of October 2015.
