After being reinstated by the NHLPA yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens elected to place Zack Kassian on waivers. With the issues he has faced recently, many were wondering if a team would take a flyer on him, and pick him up. That didn't happen, and now he has cleared and was sent down to the St. John's IceCaps.

Many will say this is proof that the Canadiens never want Kassian to play a game for them again, but I think it is way too premature to say that.
