After 650 games in the best hockey league in the world, it appears that Alexander Semin is done. On Wednesday, the Montreal Canadiens placed him on unconditional waivers with the obvious purpose of terminating his contract.
ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that Semin’s representatives have already reached out to teams out to teams in other leagues:
Semin on unconditional waivers for purpose of his release. His agent Todd Diamond talking to teams overseas. Could be a deal by week's end

In all likelihood, this marks the end of the 31-year-old’s major league career.
