The Chicago Blackhawks placed defenseman Rob Scuderi on waivers Tuesday.
The 37-year-old has no points in 17 games since being acquired from the PIttsburgh Penguins for Trevor Daley on Dec. 14.
Scuderi is under contract for this season and the next at a cap hit of $2.25 million. If he clears waivers and gets sent to the AHL, the Blackhawks will save nearly $1 million.
If assigned to AHL, Scuderi will be a $1.3M annual buried cap hit, $950,000 annual savings. #Pens retained $1.125M is unaffected.
