In a recent report on Daily Faceoff, Frank Seravalli shared that the 26-year-old defenseman wanted to see if another was interested in him, and wanted an opportunity to play elsewhere.
In 19 games with Providence this season, he scored seven assists. He's currently playing through the last year of the 1 137 500 $ AAV contract he signed in 2022.
Zboril Still Has His Eyes Set on the NHL
It was also mentionned that there were no talks of terminating his contract, or returning to Europe.
Here's Seravalli's full statement:
"On #NHLBruins placing Jakub Zboril on waivers, I'm told the Bruins are accommodating his request to see if another team is interested in giving him an opportunity.
His contract isn't being terminated and he's not going back to Europe."
