The Washington Capitals waived Devante Smith-Pelly on Wednesday, coach Todd Reirden said.

The Caps had signed Smith-Pelly, 26, to a one-year, $1 million contract in the offseason, following the winger's spectacular play on the way to winning the Stanley Cup last season.

The Sabres have placed forward Remi Elie on waivers, and the Maple Leafs pared their defensive depth by waiving Martin Marincin.

The Sabres announced the move Saturday, while a person familiar with the Maple Leafs' decision told The Associated Press about Marincin.

Marincin becomes the odd man out after Toronto acquired defenseman Jake Muzzin in a trade with Los Angeles on Monday.
