The 23-player rosters were to be confirmed by Monday at 5:00 p.m., but that didn't stop some teams from submitting players to the waivers afterwards. The Tampa Bay Lightning are within the salary cap by just $2, and Julien Brisebois has acted to give himself a bit more breathing room.

Here are the three players who were submitted to the waivers on Tuesday, and who are available for free to all teams:

David Rittich (LA)Alex Barre-Boulet (TB)Bobby McMann (TOR)

Montmagny-born Alex Barré-Boulet represents a big surprise. The Quebecer is the 2nd highest scorer in the entire American League since his arrival in 2018, with 284 points in 271 games. It's a more than respectable harvest, it's exceptional.

Obviously, Kent Hughes will have to send another player to Laval if he wants to claim him, but at a salary of $758,333 for the season, the sacrifice would clearly be worth it for such a dominant player. Alex is at the NHL level and deserves a chance to shine in an organization that can give him ice time.
