NHL Waivers Wire: A surprise forward is available for the other 31 NHL teams
Strangely, after signing a one-season agreement with the Tampa Bay Lightning at the opening of the free agent market, forward Josh Archibald has just been placed on waivers with the intention of being released.
The 30-year-old veteran had been an important element on the fourth line of the Pittsburgh Penguins last season, accumulating 12 points in 62 games.
The general manager of the Florida organization, Julien Brisebois, subsequently awarded a one-season contract to center player Tyler Motte. The former New York Ranger, who earned 10 points in 24 games, will receive a salary of 800,000 dollars in 2023-2024.

Josh Archibald will therefore become completely free and will need to find a new team just a few weeks before training camps.
