Semin (lower body) has cleared waivers, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA sports.

EDGE Analysis

Sportsnet's Eric Engels reports that Semin has been assigned to AHL St. John's, which might have been the Habs' intent of waiving him in the first place because the parent club now has the Russian on the books at a cap hit of only $150,000. Semin is still dealing with a lower-body injury, however, and his next chance to appear in a game at the minor-league level will be this Friday.
