The 23-player rosters were to be confirmed by Monday at 5:00 p.m., but that didn't stop some teams from submitting players to the waivers afterwards. The Tampa Bay Lightning are within the salary cap by just $2, and Julien Brisebois has acted to give himself a bit more breathing room. Here are the three players who were submitted to the waivers on Tuesday, and who are available for free to all teams: <b>David Rittich (LA) Alex Barre-Boulet (TB) Bobby McMann (TOR)</b> Montmagny-born Alex Barré-Boulet represents a big surprise. The Quebecer is the 2nd highest scorer in the entire American League since his arrival in 2018, with 284 points in 271 games. It's a more than respectable harvest, it's exceptional. Obviously, Kent Hughes will have to send another player to Laval if he wants to claim him, but at a salary of $758,333 for the season, the sacrifice would clearly be worth it for such a dominant player. Alex is at the NHL level and deserves a chance to shine in an organization that can give him ice time. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1711810227799027897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1711810227799027897%7Ctwgr%5E0e92349f95df1ed4c12eb8d017bb2fa162364bd3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2Fnouvelles%2FGrosse-surprise-de-derniere-minute-au-ballottage-de-la-Ligue-nationale-Kent-Hughes-et-le-Canadien-de-Montreal-ont-une-opportunite-intrigante'> </a></blockquote></div>
