Breaking: Former first round pick hits rock bottom, placed on waivers today.

This has to be a new low.

According to a report from Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, the Arizona Coyotes have put former first round draft pick, defenseman Jared Tinordi, on waiverson Friday, exposing him to be claimed by every other NHL team.

For Tinordi it's rock bottom, and it's a damning condemnation of how little he has shown since being drafted 22nd overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2010 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

It's also perhaps an opportunity, with plenty of NHL teams in desperate need of defense, he could very well be the kind of player that prompts one team to take a gamble on as a reclamation project.

Then again he has shown so little that's far from a guarantee, especially when you consider his recent 20 games suspension for PEDs.
