The Toronto Maple Leafs placed forward Colton Orr on waivers Wednesday.
The 29-year-old has played only five games this season, scoring one goal and registering five penalty minutes.
Orr, who is regarded as one of the toughest players in the NHL, signed a four-year $4 million contract with the Leafs in the summer of 2009.
In his first season with the Leafs, Orr registered career highs in goals with four, points with six and penalty minutes with 239.
This year, Orr has battled some injuries but has also been a healthy scratch for a large portion of the games he has missed. Orr suffered a concussion last season in a fight with George Parros of the Anaheim Ducks and only played 46 games.
Earlier this week the Leafs waived forward Philippe Dupuis, who was not claimed by another team and subsequently sent down to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.
