Wolanin was placed on waivers by the Avalanche on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Wolanin signed a two-way contract with the Avalanche in early July, and he will begin the upcoming campaign in the minors, assuming he clears waivers. The 31-year-old hasn't played in the NHL since making 16 regular-season appearances with Vancouver during the 2022-23 campaign.
