What's Happening?
The New Jersey Devils have placed defenseman Calen Addison on waivers. Addison, who played in the AHL last season, recorded five goals and 36 points over 62 games with the Henderson and Springfield teams. If Addison clears waivers, he is expected to start the upcoming season with the AHL's Utica Comets. This move is part of the Devils' roster adjustments as they prepare for the new NHL season.
Why It's Important?
Waiving Calen Addison reflects the Devils' ongoing efforts to optimize their roster for the upcoming NHL season. Addison's performance in the AHL suggests potential, but the decision to waive him indicates the team's current priorities and depth in the defensive lineup. For Addison, clearing waivers and joining the Utica Comets could provide an opportunity to further develop his skills and potentially earn a call-up to the NHL in the future. This move also highlights the competitive nature of securing a spot on an NHL roster.
