BRANDON — D Jake Dotchin was placed on unconditional waivers Friday with the purpose of terminating his contract for a material breach, the Lightning said.

The team disclosed no details but is believed to be unhappy with Dotchin's conditioning.

Dotchin's agent, Samuel Perreault, wouldn't discuss details but said he and his client "respectfully disagree" with the decision.

"We will look at all options available to us according to the (collective bargaining agreement), and we will leave it at there for now ," Perreault said.
