Can a team remove a player from waivers?
If a player placed on waivers is claimed by another team, the club requesting waivers may withdraw the waiver request. If the club doesn’t withdraw the waiver request, the player’s contract is assigned based on certain criteria. If only one club claims the player, that club is awarded the player. If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player. If the claim is made during the first 30 days of the season, the previous season’s standings are used to determine who gets the player. If clubs in both leagues claim the player, the player will always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers.
