It was believed that his chances of finishing the season with the Habs were good, but he has just been placed on waivers.
The reason is quite simple: Kent Hughes claimed center Colin White off waivers. Ironically, it was the Penguins who placed him on waivers, so he's already in Pittsburgh and should play tonight against his former team.
The 21st overall pick in 2015 has over 300 games of NHL experience and has accumulated over 100 points. He undoubtedly becomes an important addition for the Habs.
For Gignac, let's hope he won't be claimed and can go help the Rocket in their push for the playoffs.
