Looks like today was a good day for The Tilt. This morning I predicted that the Josh Jooris and Adam Clendening would stay for opening night. That means Tanner Glass, Nathan Gerbe, Magus Hellberg and Boo Nieves were all going to go down.

Hellberg cleared. Gerbe can opt to play in Switzerland.

If Glass clears waivers & sent down to Hartford, #Rangers will receive $950K in cap relief, reducing his cap hit to $500K against their cap. https://t.co/oMoYNzeHFc

So, maybe Gerbe opts for Switzerland? Glass and Hellberg have to clear waivers. Nieves could be back as a fourth line C at some point
