Hunwick and Zanon were both placed on waivers by the Colorado Avalanche, with both defenders entering the final-year of their contracts in the 2013-14 season. Hunwick is scheduled to count for $1.6 million against the cap, while Zanon amounts to $2.25 million.
Gill was placed on waivers by the Nashville Predators because manager David Poile believes the selection of Seth Jones with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft made the veteran defender expendable. He has one-year remaining on a contract that accounts for $2 million against the salary cap.
Russel completed the final-year of a three-year, $3.9 million contract with the St. Louis Blues and is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer.
