With waiver transactions completed for today, the Nashville Predators appear to be ready to head into Thursday's season opener against Minnesota.
There were a few surprises over the last week, including yesterday's waiving of long-time veteran Miikka Salomaki and P.K. Subban trade-piece Steven Santini. Both have cleared waivers and will join the Milwaukee Admirals this week.
Other noteworthy decisions include last year's AHL MVP forward Daniel Carr on the Predators opening night roster. Further, Frederick Gaudreau and Admirals captain Jarred Tinordi have been assigned to Milwaukee.
