Bad News For Matt Beleskey.

Last year when the Boston Bruins acquired Rick�Nash from the New York Rangers, one of the key parts of the trade for the Bruins was dumping underperforming Matt Beleskey on the Rangers.�

Beleskey's contract had started to become a burden on the Bruins salary cap especially with some big contracts coming up.�

Looks like that contract had become a burden on the Rangers as well, as Beleskey was placed on waivers by New York on Wednesday.�

As part of the trade, the Bruins retained 50% of Beleskey's salary.�

While the Rangers will get a bit of cap relief by placing Beleskey in the minors, the Bruins will still carry $1.9million of that salary for the next two seasons.�

Do you think Beleskey's days in the NHL are officially done?
