Rynnas was waived by the Stars on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Signed to a one-way contract in July following a stellar season in the Finnish Elite League, Rynnas had been competing with Anders Lindback for the top backup job behind Kari Lehtonen. Though Rynnas performed better in the early stages of camp, Lindback separated himself through his preseason outings, highlighted by a 27-save showing in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues. Perhaps another team will take a gamble on Rynnas, but because he's still a rather unknown commodity, he'll likely have to prove himself in the minors first.
