The Washington Capitals have placed defenseman Hardy Häman Aktell on unconditional waivers, signalling a mutual termination of his contract. The 26-year-old Swede was in his second season with the AHL's Hershey Bears, where he had recently accumulated nine points this season after recovering from a lower-body injury. This action suggests Aktell may have secured a contract with a team overseas. He previously won the Calder Cup with the Bears and made his brief NHL debut, though he was initially drafted by Nashville in 2016 but never signed with them.
Häman Aktell, a 2024 Calder Cup champion with the Bears, has nine points (9a) in 27 games for Hershey this season.
The Capitals re-signed Häman Aktell to a one-year, two-way contract after his successful first season in the organization that saw him make his NHL debut.
The move indicates that Häman Aktell likely already has a contract arrangement with a team overseas.
Häman Aktell was drafted by the Nashville Predators in the fourth round of the 2016 NHL Draft but never signed an entry-level contract.
