NHL Waiver/Buyout Tracker: Campbell, Boqvist, Schmidt, Skinner, Suter, Atkinson

Sunday is the final day of June, which means it’s the final day of the 2023-24 NHL league year. That means more teams are opting to go the buyout route to clear cap space before free agency begins on Monday.

Three players were placed on waivers for purposes of a buyout on Sunday, including one former Blackhawks’ draft pick. Do any of these buyout candidates interest you?

Edmonton — Jack Campbell, G

Columbus — Adam Boqvist, D

Winnipeg — Nate Schmidt, D

Buffalo — Jeff Skinner, F

Dallas — Ryan Suter, D

Philadelphia — Cam Atkinson, F
