The NHL season is nearing, prompting teams to place players on waivers. Notable among those is former Philadelphia Flyers player Kevin Connauton, who recently signed with the Utah Hockey Club, and Justin Bailey, who had a career year with the San Jose Sharks.

Connauton, a defenseman, had a solid performance in the AHL last season, while Bailey recorded impressive stats with the Sharks. As the season approaches, more roster changes are expected across the league.
