Defender of the Montreal Canadiens Karl Alzner derogations granted on Tuesday and was entrusted to the Rocket Laval of the American League.
The 30-year-old athlete was ruled out Monday to qualify for the team captain's 23-man roster Shea Weber, which will debut this season on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Alzner, who is in the second season of a five-year contract totaling $ 23.125 million, is the third most affected player ($ 4.625 million) among defenders of the Canadiens and the sixth highest salary of l & # 39; team.
He has had a decisive pbad and a plus-2 rating in eight games this season, while often serving as a scratch.
The head coach of the Canadiens, Claude Julien, said Monday that he hoped that the Alzner would authorize the waivers and that the move had been made because the team was worried that the a defender with a lower salary is not claimed.
"His future has not gone with us," said Julien about Alzner. "It was more a question of who we could not lose. At present, many teams are struggling to get treatment because of injuries, etc.
"We had guys who are friendly cap that would be easily picked up if they had been on waivers. We were protecting ourselves because we wanted to keep our depth and Karl was the guy, because of his contract, we thought it would be the least [likely] to be picked up right now from guys [to] to make renunciations. We hope to keep it.
Choosing the fifth overall in the 2007 NHL draft, Alzner had a series of 622 Ironman series that ended when he was eliminated for the first game of the Canadiens season in October. He appeared for the last time in a game of the AHL during the 2009-2010 season.
