Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Waived by Carolina

Bayreuther was placed on the waiver wire by the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Bayreuther will report to AHL Chicago if he goes unclaimed on waivers. The 31-year-old defenseman played overseas last year, generating five goals, 23 points and plus-5 rating over 52 regular-season games with Lausanne HC in Switzerland's National League.
