The Blackhawks placed Henrik Borgstrom and Brett Connolly on unconditional waivers for purpose of buyouts.
have placed forwards Henrik Borgstrom and Brett Connolly on unconditional waivers for the purpose of a buyout. The first buyout window closes on Tuesday at 4 p.m. CT., which means Monday was the last day to put players on waivers because each team has 24 hours to put a claim in.
Assuming both players clear, the Blackhawks will save $1.9 million in actual cash by buying out Borgstrom and Connolly. But it will cost them on the salary cap, although it's not a huge deal with the Blackhawks embarking on a full-scale rebuild.
