Per Elliotte Friedman:
Ville Husso is on waivers today
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) October 13, 2024
Husso will probably clear waivers and head to Grand Rapids for as long as the Wings need an extra forward…
He'll likely clear at 2 p.m. tomorrow and this will give #RedWings room to recall a forward from @griffinshockey https://t.co/0YzlODngMd

Well! Some kind of turnaround from getting the Home Opener crease to waivers for Husso.

At his cap hit he'll almost certainly clear, giving Detroit $1.15 million in cap space if assigned to Grand Rapids.
Likely needed move for cap & roster freedom after Fischer's injury. #LGRW https://t.co/knzoAvkiQi
Ultimately, waiving Husso is about 1) Cap space and 2) cap flexibility.

The Wings need to clear space on the roster and the cap to call a forward up;
And when Husso clears, in addition to that $1.15 mil in cap relief, they can send Husso up or down for 30 days without waivers.
