A surprise and a former first-round pick of the Habs are placed on waivers

The Buffalo Sabres caused a surprise by drafting forward Vinny Hinostroza.

In 19 games this season, Hinostroza, 28, is far from having a difficult season, with eight points.

The other player to be placed in the lineup is returning Habs' Michael McCarron, who has spent the last month on NHL assistance.
