Another veteran defenseman now available on waivers.

Despite the fact that they acquired him through trade, the Chicago Blackhawks have made the decision to place veteran defenseman Rob Scuderi on waivers.

Scuderi came over from the Pittsburgh Penguins when the Blackhawks traded defenseman Trevor Daley, however Scuderi has made a negligible impact on the team and has failed to register a point through 17 games played with the Blackhawks.

It's hard to imagine any team taking a rather large risk on Scuderi, who sill has another year left on his deal after this season at 37 years of age. However the move down to the American Hockey League would save the Blackhawks $1 million in cap space and could give them more flexibility in any moves they look to do at the deadline.
