Stanley Cup champion and veteran of 800+ NHL games placed on waivers

According to a report from NHL insider Frank Seravalli, the New York Rangers are expected to put veteran forward Nick Bonino on waivers today.

From Seravalli:

The 35 year old forward has just one goal and five points in 45 games with the Rangers this season, after signing a one year $800,000 deal with the team this past offseason. While his numbers this season might seem unimpressive, I can't see Bonino passing through waivers unclaimed.

Bonino is a two time Stanley Cup champion from his time with the Pittsburgh Penguins and has bounced around the NHL the past few years. In total he has 159 goals and 358 points in 868 career NHL games split between the Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver Canucks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks and New York Rangers.
