The New York Islanders have placed their 2014 first round pick on waivers. If no one picks up Josh Ho-Sang within the next 24 hours, he'll be assigned to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.
Ho-Sang signed a new one-year deal with the Isles over the offseason, but has never been able to find a regular spot on the team. Over the last three seasons, the 23-year-old has suited up in just 53 regular season games for the team, scoring seven goals and 24 points.
Forward Tanner Fritz and defenceman Thomas Hickey have also been placed on waivers by the New York Islanders
The Buffalo Sabres have placed Curtis Lazar on waivers. He was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the first round (17th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Buffalo has also waived Casey Nelson, Remi Elie and Scott Wilson.
The Canucks are waiving former 13th overall pick Sven Baertschi. Baertschi is in the second year of a three-year contract extension worth $10.1 million ($3.36 million AAV)
Other notables hitting waivers Monday include Sam Gagner and Brandon Manning of the Edmonton Oilers, Luke Schenn of Tampa Bay, Vancouver's Nikolay Goldobin, Pittsburgh's Casey DeSmith, Toronto's Nic Petan, and Anaheim's Daniel Sprong, among many others.
