However, the same cannot be said for veteran defenceman Brad Brown, who today was placed on waivers as teams carve down to their opening day rosters.
There has been much speculation as to whether or not Toronto will attempt to unload Tellqvist in order to annoint Jean-Sebastien Aubin as Andrew Raycroft's back-up.
Meanwhile, other Canadian teams have used today's waiver deadline prior to the roster freeze.
Jamie Allison, Tomas Malec, Serge Payer and Andrew Hedlund were all placed on waivers by the Ottawa Senators.
Patrick Traverses' return to Montreal may be cut short as well, as the Canadiens have made the veteran defenceman available.
The Edmonton Oilers have put Toby Peterson and Mathieu Roy on waivers, while the Flames have made Brad Ference and Eric Godard available.
Other notables put on waivers today include Tampa Bay's Sean Burke, Jason LaBarbera of the Kings, Tyson Nash of Phoenix, the Devils' Grant Marshall and Chris Thorburn of the Sabres.
Burke is on re-entry on the waiver wire. If anyone claims him, Tampa Bay will have to pick up half of his $1.6 million salary and it counts against the cap. The full $1.6 million will count against the Lightning's cap until someone picks him up.

Labarbera would look nice in Canuck colours
