No team was willing to take a chance on Alexander Semin as he cleared waivers today
It wasn't much of a surprise but it was confirmed that Alexander Semin has cleared waivers today.
It may be a mild surprise that a team didn't take a chance on the winger, especially at a low cost. There are some people who would argue that Semin in the right situation could be a productive NHL player, and I tend to agree with that. The same things that made signing Semin attractive to the Canadiens is what would make him attractive to other NHL teams.
