Yesterday was the final day to place players on waivers before rosters have to be at the 23 man limit and teams compliant with the salary cap today at 4 pm CST. To that end, the Dallas Stars placed defensive prospect Mattias Backman on waivers with the intention of assigning him to the Texas Stars, should he remain unclaimed.
NHL rosters must be submitted to league by 5 p.m. ET tomorrow. All teams must be cap compliant by then.
