In this list, we notably find some former first round picks, like Jakub Zboril and Shane Bowers. We also find some former Montreal Canadiens players, like Kale Clague and Cale Fleury. However, it's a player who fits both criteria mentioned above that's the biggest surprise.

He is therefore released even before playing a game with them, after signing a new contract and after all the encouraging statements from Nashville.
