Bob McKenzie with the bombshell! Dennis Seidenberg has been placed on unconditonal on waivers for the purpose of a buyout. If, like me, you had to google these waivers because the Bruins have never freaking used them, there is a period between June 15-30 when teams can notify the player and league that they intend to buy out a contract.
Buyout waivers: Korpikoski (EDM), Carle (TB), Boll (CBJ), Seidenberg (BOS), Greene (LA), Jackman (NSH).

What does this mean for the Bruins, immediately? It means they now have $2.8M to play with this coming year.
