Coyotes place Antoine Vermette on buyout waivers
The Arizona Coyotes have placed center Antoine Vermette on unconditional waivers.
Arizona saves $2.5 million on this year's cap, and cited giving increased roles to some of their younger players as a reason for the move.
Vermette tallied 17 goals and 21 assists in 76 games for the Coyotes last year, while finishing the season with a 47.1 Corsi For percentage, his lowest since the 2008-2009 campaign.
