The Ottawa Senators have placed forward Filip Chlapik on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, according to CapFriendly.

Chlapik signed a one-year, $735,000 qualifying offer with Ottawa in October. The 23-year-old has recorded five goals and six assists in 57 career NHL games across four seasons, but he's played in just one contest this year.

Though he didn't produce much offensively in his limited action, he did post strong defensive metrics.

The Senators selected Chlapik 48th overall in the 2015 NHL Draft.
