Roster vs Non-roster Players
- All players on the NHL Roster have their cap hit count towards the team's cap hit.
- Players who are not on the NHL Roster (in other leagues) do not count against the cap up to the burying threshold. Non-roster players who have a cap hit above the burying threshold carry a cap charge for the excess.
- The team's cap hit each day includes players who are on the NHL Roster as of 5pm Eastern.
- Players assigned to the minors must clear waivers if they are not waivers exempt.
- See the PuckPedia Waivers Tracker here.
