Because they didn’t make the Nashville Predators roster, Salomaki and Santini will be headed to Milwaukee (AHL) if no other team claims them in the 24 hour period in which they will be available to be claimed.
Miikka Salomaki has been a regular on the Nashville Predators roster since the 2015-16 season, serving as a fourth-line winger for the past three seasons.
He seemingly lost out on the battle for a spot in the bottom six to Daniel Carr, which makes him expendable.
Salomaki had two assists in three preseason games, so the decision to waive him was quite a surprise, as he did look impressive when he played.
