"Fredrik Olofsson (COL) on waivers."
Olofsson, who has suited up for 55 games with the Avalanche this season, has contributed 3 goals and 6 assists. Despite these contributions, the Avalanche's decision puts Olofsson at risk of being snapped up by another team at this crucial juncture of the season.
It's a rare occurrence for a team in contention for the Stanley Cup to place a player on waivers, as rosters are typically locked in with an eye towards postseason success.
This move by the Avalanche has certainly raised eyebrows and will be something to watch closely in the coming days.
