![]() Kieffer Bellows has yet to be placed on waivers (and like Schneider, his contract still hadn’t appeared on the filings) but that will be necessary at some point. The Isles had previously passed veterans like Richard Panik (since assigned to Bridgeport) and Thomas Hickey (technically on the opening roster) through waivers. ![]() Michael Dal Colle was placed on waivers today and will presumably be assigned to AHL Bridgeport once his $750,000 one-way ( which just means he makes the same amount whether he’s in the NHL or AHL) deal clears. To arrive at the opening roster, there are many cap and roster logistics like that involved, including the retired Boychuk, who again returns (along with his $6 million cap hit) to LTIR, which will eventually enable the Islanders to exceed the cap ceiling (or, essentially, replace his cap hit) by that much if needed during the season.

Unlike many teams - and in keeping with their pattern all summer - the Isles didn’t make a public announcement about it today, so we refer to the NHL media site and piece things together with the help of CapFriendly.
