Saturday: Hanley has cleared waivers and has been sent to AHL Texas, reports Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News.
Friday: The Dallas Stars have placed defenseman Joel Hanley on waivers with the intention of moving him to the minor leagues should he clear. Hanley cleared before the season began, but needed to go through the process again after spending more than 30 days on the NHL roster.
Hanley, 28, has played in eight games with the Stars this year, recording two points while logging just over 11 minutes a night. The undrafted journeyman has just 46 NHL games under his belt, with most of his professional experience coming at the AHL level.
On a two-year, two-way contract, it seems unlikely that Hanley will be claimed at this point in his career.
