Rempal was placed on waivers by Washington on Thursday, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.
Rempal joined the Capitals on a one-year, two-way contract for the 2025-26 campaign, but he didn't make the team out of training camp. After recording one goal and two points in four appearances with AHL Hershey this year, it seems he's going to move on. If he clears unconditional waivers, Rempal and the Capitals will presumably part ways, which might lead to him returning to the KHL. He had 31 goals and 61 points in 68 regular-season outings with KHL Ufa in 2024-25.

Capitals' Sheldon Rempal: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Rempal was put on waivers by Washington for the purpose of sending him to the minors Friday.
Rempal left the NHL after the 2023-24 campaign and enjoyed a stellar year with Salavat Yulayev Ufa of the KHL in 2024-25, where he tallied 31 goals and added 30 assists in 68 regular-season games. The Capitals inked Rempal to a one-year, two-way contract in the offseason, so it's no surprise that the 30-year-old failed to make the team out of training camp. Should he pass through waivers, Rempal will play for AHL Hershey to start the season.

Golden Knights' Sheldon Rempal: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Rempal scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
This was Rempal's 14th career game over parts of five seasons, and he was finally able to get on the scoresheet. He tallied on a feed from Nicolas Roy in the second period to put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1. With Vegas navigating a tough time for injuries, Rempal has served as a forward depth option, typically playing in the bottom six when he draws in. Top prospect Brendan Brisson is the Golden Knights' extra healthy forward, so Rempal's spot in the lineup is far from secure.
