Jake Dotchin's training camp with the Tampa Bay Lightning is over before it even began.

The Bolts placed the defenseman on waivers Thursday to terminate his contract, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. The team is calling it a "material breach of contract," Friedman added.

In 83 career games with the Lightning, Dotchin picked up just three goals and 22 points. It may not take him long to find a new home because of his age (24), size (6-foot-3, 210 pounds), and right-handedness.
