In the span of a few hours, Tim Kennedy was signed by Rochester, claimed on waivers by Charlotte and then shipped back to Rochester.

Just found out that another player was also affected by this "Europe waivers" rule.


Honestly I don't get the necessity of such rule at the AHL level. It's not like AHL teams can "hide" players in Europe.

What's the point of trying to sign a high profile UFA like Akeson when you're likely to loose him on waivers...

Here is another weird situation caused by the AHL rulebook...

Now, it’s common knoweledge that the Cyclones current leading point scorer, Andrew Yogan was called up to the AHL before the trip to Indy. After speaking with Cyclones broadcaster, Everett Fitzhugh, it’s actually an interesting story.

The Cyclones were actually already on the bus heading towards Indy when Andrew Yogan received the call-up (it was never confirmed as to which AHL team it was). The bus pulled over at a gas station to let Yogan off so he could Uber his way back to Cincinnati. About 15 minutes after Yogan got off the bus, Head Coach Matt Macdonald received a call from the AHL coach Yogan was supposed to sign with. Turns out, he couldn’t accept the call-up due to the fact he started the season in Europe. Because of this, if Yogan was to go to the AHL, he would have to sign a standard player contract (SPC). He was not allowed to sign a professional try-out (PTO), which is what he was offered.

Bad news: The Cyclones’ top point scorer sat at home in Cincinnati for basically nothing.
Good news: He’ll most likely be Cincinnati’s to keep this season because of that “Europe clause” the AHL has, so he won’t be going up and down like he did last season.

Since he was not released from PTO and loaned to Alaska, it probably means that Marco Roy is under AHL contract with Utica.

The only remaining "unknown contract" are William Wrenn (Toronto), Jeff Glass (Toronto) and Jacob Middleton (San Jose).

I see from the AHL transaction page that Reid Gardiner has been released from his contract with WBS. Is he moving on to the CIS? Is he signing an entry-level deal with Pittsburgh?

Back to the WHL where his rights were acquired by Kelowna. He's also eligible to play CIS hockey next season.

The Chicago Wolves announced Sunday that the club has signed former National Hockey League defenseman James Wisniewski to a standard player contract.

An 11-year veteran of the NHL, the 32-year-old has spent time with the Anaheim Ducks, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders.

Through 552 NHL games, he registered 53 goals and 221 assists for 274 points and logged 459 penalty minutes, as well as a -22 plus/minus rating. Wisniewski also appeared in 24 post-season games – split between Anaheim, Columbus and Montreal – and tallied a goal and six assist for seven points.

To begin the 2016-17 season, Wisniewski played in the Kontinental Hockey League for the Vladivostok Admirals. He skated in 16 games and collected four points (G, 3A).
