Ever wondered how waiver claims work in the NHL? If a player is put on waivers before November 1st, the waiver order is based on last season's standings, so the worst team gets first dibs. After November 1st, it goes by the current season standings, so if multiple teams want the same player, the lowest team in the standings wins the claim. So, the earlier you struggle, the better your chances in the waiver race! But it isn't a race you really want to be in it is rare you get a team-changing play

Did you know you can't just trade a player right after claiming them off waivers? If a player is claimed off waivers, they have to be offered to the other teams that originally placed a claim before being traded. So, let’s say three teams put in a claim. The lowest team in the standings gets the player. But if they want to trade him, the other two teams who placed a claim get first crack at him. If they pass, then he can be traded. It’s a pretty unique rule that protects teams who tried to claim
