Montreal Canadiens announce they're placing popular forward on waivers at 2 pm
The Montreal Canadiens will place Rem Pitlick on waivers at 2:00, the team announced on Monday morning after the forward was not at practice.
Pitlick, 25, was claimed off waivers by the Canadiens last season. In 46 games, he had nine goals and 17 assists. He was signed to a two-year contract this summer, and his cap hit is $1.1 million. The contract is a one-way deal, which means that he would make the same salary in the minors. It makes it potentially unlikely that someone would claim him.
If he clears waivers, he would join the Laval Rocket. In seven games this season, Pitlick has gone pointless. He last played on November 3 against the Winnipeg Jets, a game in which he took two minor hooking penalties in just over ten minutes of action.
