Penguins' Emil Bemstrom: Placed on waivers

Bemstrom was designated for waivers by the Penguins on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Bemstrom played in 24 games for the Penguins last season, and he tallied three goals, two assists and 12 hits while averaging just 8:47 of ice time. Given his 228 games of NHL experience, mostly with the Blue Jackets, the 25-year-old center could be a strong candidate to be snatched off the wire, especially considering his minimal $775,000 cap hit.
