Overview
- The 23-year-old defenseman was placed on conditional waivers for AHL assignment, starting a 24-hour claim window that ends Saturday morning.
- Waiver priority now follows inverse standings, giving Vancouver the first chance to claim Iorio and Colorado the last.
- Vegas cannot claim him without freeing a contract slot, and Edmonton and Montreal would need cap moves to absorb his $814,167 hit.
- If unclaimed, Iorio is expected to be assigned to the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda.
- Iorio has three assists in 21 games and six straight healthy scratches as Vincent Desharnais returned, and the transaction supports potential returns for Shakir Mukhamadullin, Kiefer Sherwood, and Philipp Kurashev before Feb. 4.
