What It Means:

The Montreal Canadiens terminated Semin's contract, which places him on unconditional waivers and this might signal the end of his career in the NHL. His agent is talking to teams overseas.

Semin was a regular healthy scratch for the Canadiens and was not given much playing time when he was in the lineup, with an average time on ice of 12:20, over 5 minutes less than his career average. He recorded just 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists) in 15 games.
