tye kartye was placed on waivers by his team in a roster move that arrived alongside significant activity for the St. Louis Blues, who made changes involving forward Mathieu Joseph. These parallel actions affect depth charts and immediate roster availability for both clubs.

Tye Kartye placed on waivers

The Kraken placed forward Tye Kartye on waivers. The 24-year-old winger has three goals and eight points in 40 games this season. Earlier in his career he posted a career-best 11 goals and 20 points in 77 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

Placement on waivers opens the possibility of a claim by other clubs, retention at the original team if he clears waivers, or reassignment depending on outcomes of the waiver window. For Kartye, the move represents an immediate roster decision point for his club and an opportunity for other teams seeking depth on the wing.

Mathieu Joseph: assignment to Springfield and waiver status

The St. Louis Blues announced that they have assigned forward Mathieu Joseph to their AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds. In separate roster activity the Blues also placed Joseph on waivers as Dylan Holloway was activated off injured reserve and Joseph was designated non-roster for the waiver period.

Joseph, 29, has logged 11 points this season with two goals and nine assists and four penalty minutes in 39 games. Over his NHL career he has amassed 160 points — 61 goals and 99 assists — and 200 penalty minutes in 459 regular-season games.

Additional roster context: Joseph carries a cap hit of $2. 95 million on an expiring contract and is approaching unrestricted free agency. The team activated Dylan Holloway from injured reserve; Holloway had missed time with a lower-body injury and was returned to the active roster as part of the same roster shuffle.

What this means now

Both waiver placements and the AHL assignment are immediate events that will determine short-term roster composition for the teams involved.
For tye kartye, the waiver placement follows a season in which he has registered modest scoring totals and a prior season-best offensive output; the waiver window will determine whether he remains with his current club or moves elsewhere.
For Mathieu Joseph, the combination of waiver designation and the announced assignment to Springfield changes his roster status and ties into his contract situation as he approaches free agency.

These transactions are active roster developments; details may evolve as the waiver windows progress and teams formalize assignments. The moves will be reflected in upcoming lineups and organizational depth charts as both clubs address immediate roster needs.
