Toninato was placed on waivers by the Blackhawks on Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Toninato will likely begin the upcoming season with AHL Rockford, assuming he clears waivers. The 31-year-old is in the first year of a two-year, two-way contract with the Blackhawks after spending the last five seasons with the Jets' organization. He had an AHL career-high 36 points in 60 games last season with Manitoba.
