Yep, I remember them doing this in previous years as well. They waived Byron for roster flexibility, but he was expected to make the opening night roster. He ended up getting claimed by Montreal.
But it is odd that these are the players who get another pre-season game though, especially since they were the first ones to get waived. Might just be a sign of the fact that there are too many pre-season games and they don’t want to risk injury to others. At the same time it serves as a Wranglers pre-season as I don’t believe the Wranglers have any pre-season games
