What It Means:

The Canadiens signed Semin to a low-risk deal in the offeseason worth just $1.1 million, but things have not gone according to plan. Semin was regularly a healthy scratch and didn't perform when he was on the ice.

Semin has just four points (one goal, three assists) in 15 games played this season. It will be interesting to see if another team is willing to take a chance on the former 40-goal scorer, or if he has worn out his welcome in the NHL.
