Bruins place defenseman Jakub Zboril on waivers
The Bruins have placed defenseman Jakub Zboril on waivers to see if there are any takers for the 2015 13th overall pick.
Zboril already passed through waivers at the end of training camp, but rosters are mostly set at that juncture of the season. Now with injuries and any other roster developments, perhaps a team would be more interested this time around. We shall see by 2 p.m. on Thursday. He’s on the last year of a deal worth $1.137.5 million.
Zboril was the first of three first-round picks the B’s had in 2015, with only Jake DeBrusk – taken with the next pick – making himself a regular NHLer. Zach Senyshyn, taken 15th, is playing in Germany.
Zboril, 26, appeared to be ready to turn a corner in his career two seasons ago and was playing well until he blew out his knee in a game in Nashville, limiting him to just 10 games. He came back strong and had a very good training camp last year to earn a roster spot. But he couldn’t maintain his level of play and, when he had a costly turnover in a game in Florida, he was relegated to a healthy scratch on most nights.
Zboril has seven assists in 19 games in Providence this year.
