The Devils have placed forward Dainius Zubrus on conditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
#NJDevils GM Ray Shero announces that Dainius Zubrus has been placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.
— New Jersey Devils (@NHLDevils) July 29, 2015The buyout window had previously closed but because the Devils settled all their arbitration cases ahead of time a 48-hour window re-opened, which the Devils have obviously elected to use.
Zubrus had long been an effective role player but his on-ice performance has diminished significantly in recent years.
With the Devils fully embracing a youth movement and looking for the likes of Stefan Matteau, Reid Boucher, Sergei Kalinin and Pavel Zacha, among others, to come in and take spots it makes sense to part ways with the 37-year-old forward.
