Boyes was placed on buyout waivers Tuesday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.

Analysis:

Boyes is expected to clear waivers Wednesday afternoon, with the Panthers likely to pick up the remaining $2.5 million on his contract. It's somewhat of a puzzling move, as Boyes recorded a respectable 38 points in 78 games last season, but it likely speaks to the Panthers' motivation to open up roster spots for some of their younger talent. Once he becomes an unrestricted free agent, Boyes shouldn't have much difficulty finding work as a depth forward for another team.
