Alexander Volkov: Placed on unconditional waivers

The Ducks waived Volkov unconditionally for purposes of contract termination Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Volkov scored eight points in 18 games with Anaheim last season but couldn't crack the NHL lineup this season and was waived in early October. Once he clears waivers he'll be free to sign anywhere in the league but it's possible he considers going back to his home country of Russia.
