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.
