Chayka was placed on unconditional waivers by the Golden Knights for the purposes of contract termination Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chayka was drafted 38th overall by the Golden Knights in 2021 but didn't make his NHL debut over the past few seasons. He's made just five appearances at AHL Henderson this year, recording an assist and a minus-5 rating. He'll now attempt to seek out other opportunities.

Chayka signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Vegas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Chayka was a second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. He suited up for 11 games with KHL Moscow last season, notching a goal and two points with a minus-2 rating. The 18-year-old blueliner is still at least a couple of years away from making an NHL impact.
