VANCOUVER -- David Booth has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Canucks for the purpose of buying him out. Raimel Tapia Jersey . If Booth clears waivers, Vancouver can use a compliance buyout on the 29-year-old forward. Booth had one year left on his contract at a salary of US$4.75 million and a salary-cap hit of $4.25 million. "We wish David all the success in the future and thank him for his contributions with the Canucks," general manager Jim Benning said in a statement. The Detroit native had nine goals and 10 assists in 66 games this past season. Injuries limited him to 12 games in the 2012-13 campaign. Like other unrestricted free agents, Booth can talk to other teams beginning June 25 and sign a new deal July 1. Buying out Booth is another change for the Canucks, who traded Roberto Luongo and fired general manager Mike Gillis and coach John Tortorella earlier this spring. The team has since hired Trevor Linden as president and Benning as GM. More moves are expected, including the hiring of a new coach. Along with Booth, Ville Leino was also placed on waivers Tuesday as the Buffalo Sabres intend to use a compliance buyout to get out of the final three years of his contract. Lance Painter Jersey .

I think it is another big game, said the Real Madrid forward. It is the old cliche again of we are taking it one game at a time, but that is the way we have been approaching things in the past, and that is how we will continue to do it. It is a massive game for us tomorrow and our home form is going to be key to us qualifying.I think today is the main day when we will really sit down and look at the opposition so I cant comment too much at the moment, because I dont know too much.But I have seen their results in the past and they have had very good results - they beat Spain [in a pre-Euro 2016 friendly], and I dont think they deserved to lose against Ireland [in a World Cup qualifier last week] from what I hear.I am sure it is going to be a difficult game tomorrow and one we need to prepare for right.It was a difficult game in Vienna [a 2-2 draw with Austria on Thursday], a hard-earned point, and obviously we have to make sure we are recovered and ready for tomorrow with no excuses.
