unlike other professional leagues, waivers in the nhl do not always mean an unconditional release if a player clears waivers and elects free agency, unless the waivers requested were unconditional waivers. most nhl players will need to clear waivers before they are assigned to a minor league team; exceptions are listed below. clearing waivers means every other team in the nhl has the option to "claim" that player off of the "waiver wire", thus assuming his contract (and cap hit; this varies for re-entry waivers), and providing only minor monetary compensation to the originating team (unless the waivers requested were re-entry waivers); financial compensations are listed below. if a player clears waivers, the team has the right to either loan the player to a minor league affiliate which is generally a team in the american hockey league (ahl), or the team can elect to keep that player with their club. once a player has cleared waivers, they do not need to again clear them for the shorter of: (1) 30 cumulative days on the nhl roster; or (2) until they have played in ten nhl games. if a player refuses to report to the minors, the team can use that as grounds to suspend the player ("i.e.", not pay them).
