Less than a week after he was acquired from the Flyers for Philip Tomasino, the Pens have placed defenseman Egor Zamula on unconditional waivers for the express purpose of terminating his contract.
If he isn’t claimed by another team, Zamula will be free to negotiate a new deal with a team of his choosing. Finding a fit at the NHL-level is a priority for the rangy Russian, who currently earns $1.7 million.
Prior to being placed on waivers, Zamula had refused an assignment to the Baby Pens, which led to a team-mandated suspension on January 3.
