An NHL veteran of 15 years was placed on waivers, while two players were claimed off this week's wire
The New York Rangers put a former Stanley Cup champion, Nick Bonino, on waivers today, which was surprising news for many NHL fans.
Bonino had been picked up by the Rangers during the off-season and had signed a 1-year contract with the team for $880K.
According to NHL insider Arthur Staple, the Rangers have placed the veteran on waivers for re-assignment to the American Hockey League today.

Bonino has played 45 games this season, but he hasn't been producing as much as the Rangers would have liked, with only 1 goal and 4 assists, for a total of 5 points.
In addition to Bonino, two other players were also placed on waivers today: Adam Ruzicka and Nick DeSimone.
Ruzicka, who played 114 NHL games for the Calgary Flames, will now join the Arizona Coyotes.
