The Boston Bruins are moving on from Tyler Johnson.
The team announced Thursday that they have placed the 34-year-old forward on unconditional waivers.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman added on social media that the Bruins’ decision to waive Johnson is “for purposes of contract termination” — signaling that Johnson will be released by the team and become a free agent if no team plucks him off waivers.
It’s a disappointing end to Johnson’s brief time with Boston, with the Bruins banking on the versatile winger becoming the latest key cog added off of a professional tryout (PTO) contract.
