Ex-Boston Bruins players career hits rock bottom following announcement
Former Boston Bruins Chris Wagner's career has hit an all-time low, as he has once again been waived.
Wagner, 33, is currently playing for the Colorado Avalanche and after the team's last two losses will be reassigned to the AHL's Colorado Eagles.
Wagner hasn't found a home in the NHL on a lineup, since 2018 when he played for the Anaheim Ducks, before he arrived in Boston.
With Boston he'd play 186 games of his career in Beantown, scoring only 34 points in that time frame.
The forward's usage in Colorado has been slim as in the last two games with a time on ice of 6:36, and failing to register any points in that time frame as well.
The depth forward would win 3 of 6 face-offs, with 3 shots on goal, 3 hits, and have a -1 rating on ice.
Since his arrival in Colorado, he has one goal and an assist in 15 games with the Avalanche and has failed to provide the depth-scoring forwards like Andrew Cogliano, and Logan O'Connor have in the past.
He was picked up in 2023 as a free agent from the Boston Bruins organization, which left him as a UFA instead of offering him a contract.
The Avalanche signed Wagner to a one-year, two-way contract with an AAV of $775K and it expires at the end of the season.
Wagner is 34 years old at the end of his contract and has spent the majority of his time playing professional hockey in the AHL, with a total of 385 games in the minors.
It's hard to tell where his career will go next as he hasn't been able to crack an NHL lineup in some time.
In 2019 Wagner played in the Stanley Cup finals with the Boston Bruins but they were handily defeated by the St. Louis Blues.
