Vishnevski Clears Waivers

It looks like you can scratch another name from your list here really soon, not like you actually had Vitali Vishnevski on your list of players to take for your hockey pool team. Vishnevski has now cleared waivers and has paved the way to head back home to Russia to play there. It seems unlikely that he'll be dressed for the Devils and finish the remaining two years on his contract.

Last season, Vishnevski only managed 7 points in 69 games in New Jersey and would be worth $1.8 million against the cap for the next two seasons, which should now be open for the Devils to play with. New Jersey is already stocked up with plenty of defensemen heading into the brand new year, so there should be little concern for Devils fans because of this transaction.
