The winger, who is currently dealing with an injury issue, only played in 15 games for the Canadiens this season, and while he had above-average possession numbers, there has been an clear lack of production from Semin, to the tune of one goal and three assists.
If he clears waivers, the Canadiens will be on the hook for $150,000 of his $1.1M contract, seeing as how you can bury up to $950,000 in the AHL.
