Earlier today, the Arizona Coyotes placed British forward prospect Liam Kirk on unconditional waivers, with the intention of buying out his contract entirely.
Kirk, only 23 years old, became the first English born and trained player ever drafted when the Coyotes selected him in the seventh round in the 2018 NHL draft.
The Rotherham, England native spent the majority of his 2022-23 season with the ECHL's Atlanta Gladiators and in Finland's Liiga with Jukurit. In his 25 games played with Jukurit, Kirk scored 7 goals and 19 points.
