Sam Lafferty - On the bubble Lafferty, who auditioned early in camp on a line with John Tavares, is on the bubble for a roster spot because of his $1.15 million salary, reports The Athletic. Impact He earns about $375,000 more than the league minimum, and that matters a lot on a team at the ceiling. Most of Lafferty's competition makes the minimum. And he wasn't on a regular line in the final week of camp. That's never a good sign. Lafferty would surely be scooped up if he's put on waivers, and in the right situation, he could help on another team's third line. Stay tuned -- the waiver deadline is 2 pm Eastern Sunday.
