Technically, so many players are put on waivers this time of year because you can only have a 23 man roster. There is no choice but to put player on waivers.
But it is true that most go unclaimed because waivers is saturated and every other team is waiving player that have equal value.
Byron shouldn’t have been waived though. He was my dark horse pick that year to score 15 to 20 goals. He looked like a player on the rise to me.
