Bruins place former 2015 first-round pick on waivers
Jakub Zboril played in 76 career games with the Bruins.The Bruins are moving on from the first player they selected in the infamous 2015 NHL Draft.
Boston placed Jakub Zboril on waivers Wednesday, with the 26-year-old defenseman looking to secure a fresh start elsewhere after his time with the Bruins ran its course.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the Bruins placed Zboril on waivers in order to accommodate his request to see if another NHL team wants to give him an opportunity.
Seravalli adds that Zboril’s contract is not being terminated, nor is the blueliner looking to play in Europe.
