BREAKING: Montreal to Place Centre on Unconditional Waivers

Montreal appears to be parting ways with one of their veteran centres.
The Canadiens are reportedly going to place Tomas Plekanec on unconditional waivers, likely for the purpose of contract termination. The 36-year old has played 1001 games, 984 with the Canadiens.

Plekanec was placed on injured reserve due a back injury in October, and hasn't played a game since.

This move comes as a surprise to some, but shouldn't considering how they treated Montreal-lifer Andrei Markov. At least they let Plekanec play his 1,000th game.
