Detroit Red Wings Place Veteran Defenseman on Waivers

Not exactly shocking given Sebastian Cossa's departure and the need for cap space to sign younger D.

yea but that veteran def man has been underperforming alot and this move recieve some much needed cap relief for them

Not so fast on that underperforming label - from what I've seen of his junior days and AHL stint, I think he's got some upside, but yeah, clearly they need cap relief now after trading Cossa. @fenwickfan made a solid point about the cap space situation too.
