The 16-17 season opened on October 12, 2016. I counted training camp and early season transactions as being from September 30, 2016 (first day of waiver activity) and October 31, 2016 (end of the first calendar month of the season).
225 players were placed on waivers, with 1 player being placed on unconditional waivers. Of those, 216 cleared waivers. So 9 out of 226 players were claimed, which is just a shade under 4%.
So proportionately, fewer claims were made on waived players in training camp/early season.
