Tampa Bay Lightning waive Jake Dotchin citing “material breach of contract”

Julien BriseBois’ first official transaction as the Tampa Bay Lightning’s new general manager was a big one, placing 24-year old Jake Dotchin on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract.

Joe Smith of the Athletic initially reported that Dotchin wasn’t on the ice with his assigned group at the start of training camp.

Jake Dotchin hasn’t been with any of the groups on the ice, or the injured players in red. #TBLightning hasn’t yet given an official update on his status. Cooper said Thursday Callahan was only player who finished season with them that wasn’t fully available to start camp.
