The Washington Capitals have placed 27-year old defenseman Aaron Ness on waivers according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
It is being assumed that the Capitals intentions are to send Ness back to the minors.
Christian Djoos returned to practice on Monday and with Madison Bowey impressing with his play, the odd man out was Ness.
Ness is a pending unrestricted free agent on a two-way deal which could make him an attractive option to some other teams.
