Whopping 23 players hit the NHL waiver wire today including former top-15 pick

On Saturday afternoon, 23 players from eight different NHL teams were cut from their teams and placed on waivers.

However, many of the players going down to the AHL need to go through waivers, where all 32 NHL organizations have a 24-hour window to claim the player for free.

Today, a total of 23 players are available on the waiver wire. Here's the official list:
