Connor Zary and Brayden Pachal Clear Waivers

Connor Zary and Brayden Pachal cleared NHL waivers after being placed on October 5. Zary can be assigned to the Calgary Wranglers, while a possible trade remains unconfirmed; his former first-round status, $3.775 million cap hit through 2027-28 and stalled post-injury development keep the decision highly significant.
