If Di Giuseppe clears waivers on Thursday at noon, the Hurricanes can assign him to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League at any point in the next 30 days (as long as he does not play in 10 or more games during that stretch).
It's a move that, above all, gives the Hurricanes roster flexibility in the upcoming weeks.
Di Giuseppe, 25, has played in two games with the Hurricanes this season and has recorded one shot and four penalty minutes. A second-round draft pick in 2012, Di Giuseppe has totaled 37 points (13g, 24a) in 128 NHL games with the Hurricanes since 2015.
