The Chicago Blackhawks have made a notable move by placing forward Boris Katchouk on waivers.
Katchouk, acquired through a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning a few years ago in exchange for Brandon Hagel, now faces the possibility of a new chapter in his career.
When a player is placed on waivers, other NHL teams have a 24-hour window to claim the player. If no team puts in a claim during this period, the player can be officially assigned to the Blackhawks' minor league affiliate in the AHL.
This decision to waive Katchouk signals a potential shift in the team's roster dynamics or a strategic move to assess his value within the league.
Blackhawks fans will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds in the coming days.
