LeClair Waived

The Pittsburgh Penguins have waived veteren winger John LeClair this afternoon. John LeClair is earning $1.5 million in salary but his cap hit is $1.8 million. His waiver fee is $3,300. If he hits re-entry waivers, his cap hit will be $900,000.

Matt's Take: This could be the end for LeClair, but a team with cap space and in need for scoring could always pick him up. For the Bruins, I would not pick him up on waivers, as 1.8 cap hit is a waste, but if he hits re-entry waivers, I would consider it. He is still a scorer if put with the right people.
