Chlapik was waived for the purpose of terminating his contract Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chlapik has only made one NHL appearance this season after drawing into 31 games with the Senators last campaign, so it's possible he requested to have his contract terminated so he could seek more lucrative opportunities overseas. The 2015 second-round pick's time in the NHL may have already come to an end.
