Penguins' Sebastian Aho: Placed on waivers

Aho landed on the waiver wire Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Aho was facing an uphill battle to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster, so his placement on waivers shouldn't come as a surprise. Given the team's up-and-coming youngsters on the blue line, including Owen Pickering and Harrison Brunicke, the 29-year-old Aho is unlikely to see much ice time in the NHL this year.
