Montreal Canadiens Place Former First Round Pick On Unconditional Waivers
A former first-round pick is just a day away from becoming an unrestricted free agent, as he finds himself on unconditional waivers, paving the way for a contract termination.
On Sunday afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens made it official, announcing the placement of defenseman Nicolas Beaudin on unconditional waivers with the intention of terminating his contract, a decision reached through mutual agreement.
"The Canadiens have placed defenseman Nicolas Beaudin on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, following a mutual agreement."
Beaudin, 24, arrived at the Montreal Canadiens via a trade with Chicago in October 2022. However, despite the move, he never got the chance to hit the NHL ice for the Canadiens. Instead, he spent the last two seasons showcasing his skills with AHL Laval.
