    Trio of Bruins put on waivers

    The last days leading up to the regular season are a time for teams to finalize their rosters before opening night. It also marks the busiest time of the year on the waiver wire.

    In the next step of solidifying their 23-man roster, the Bruins placed a trio of players — Seth Griffith, Tyler Randell and Tim Schaller — on the waiver wire this afternoon. Teams have until 5 p.m. tomorrow — the deadline for teams to send their rosters for the start of the 2016-17 season — to claim someone off waivers.

    A fifth-round pick in the 2012 Entry Draft, Griffith spent most of his first three years in Providence tallying 158 points in that span, including 77 in 2015-16. He showed glimpses of potential in Boston during the 2014-15 campaign where he played in 30 games (tallying six goals and four assists) and earned some time on the top two lines with linemates Milan Lucic and David Krejci. His time in Boston is best remembered for a highlight-reel goal against the Devils two years ago.

    Like Griffith, Randell spent most of his time in Providence since signing his entry-level contract before the 2012-13 season. Last year marked Randell’s first taste of the NHL where he skated in 29 games and tallied six goals while mostly on fourth line duty.

    Signing with the Bruins in the off-season, Schaller, who spent his first two seasons in Buffalo, competed for a fourth line spot — along with Randell — during Training Camp. The Merrimack, New Hampshire native notched five points (three goals, two assists) in 35 games during his stint with the Sabres.

    Griffith, Randell and Schaller will likely report to Providence if they go unclaimed on the waiver wire.
