Lipon was waived for the purpose of reassignment by the Jets on Monday, Ken Wiebe of The Athletic reports.
Lipon hasn't played in an NHL game since the 2015-16 campaign and will have to wait longer to get another shot. Perhaps if Kyle Connor or Patrik Laine remained unsigned, the 26-year-old Lipon would have had a shot at a roster spot, but instead the winger will start the year in the minors, where he figures to spend the bulk of the upcoming season.
