The Montreal Canadiens have waived Karl Alzner, buying out the last two years of his contract.
The 32-year-old Burnaby, B.C. native, was often the topic of buyout discussions among pundits and fan forums and was finally waived by the Montreal Canadiens.
In three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, Alzner only played 95 games in the bleu blanc et rouge, spending almost two full seasons in the AHL with the Laval Rocket.
