Bruins Make A Surprising Player Available To Every Team For Free After Placing Him On Waivers Today
Don Sweeney has placed defenseman Alec Regula on waivers following an announcement confirmed by Elliotte Friedman.
The Boston Bruins shocked many when Elliotte Friedman confirmed that the team has placed defenseman Alec Regula on waivers.
According to Mark Allard who is a Bruins insider the Boston Bruins have to place Regula on waivers as he has missed the entire season so far with an injury. Now that he is healthy he has to go through the waiver process before heading back down to the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
Now that he's healthy to return to playing he must go through the waiver process much like so many did before the season started to be assigned to Providence.
The Boston Bruins acquired Alec Regula along with defenseman Ian Mitchell when they traded Nick Foligno and Taylor Hall to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Last off-season the Bruins ended up signing Regula to a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV at the NHL level.
Since coming over to the Boston Bruins in the trade, Regula has not played a game for the Boston Bruins, but has been pretty decent for the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.
Last year during the 2023-24 season with the Providence Bruins, Regula appeared in 55 games for the team and had 4 goals, 22 assists for 26 points which tied his career high in the American Hockey League, and he had a plus-36 rating.
Do you think Alec Regula will get claimed after being placed on waivers?
