[Ziggy Stardust]

What's the status of his health anyway?

 

[Wolfpuck]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[ScottyK]

If he's healthy I hope Shero takes a shot on him

 

[wingsfan17]

Come back home to Detroit!

 

[Richiebottles]

Too bad he is a RHD. Would be great to have him back on MTL

 

[N o o d l e s]

That's intriguing

 

[YP44]

kinda surprised me.

 

[jw2]

They have a ton of young D that need minutes. Didn't think they'd buy him out but not a huge shock

 

[Antropovsky]

What's the status of his health anyway?

He'd have to be healthy to be bought out, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Unsustainable]

What's the status of his health anyway?

He played 47 seconds for the Canes last season. Not sure how much he recovered.

 

[CandyCanes]

Skated all of 47 seconds for the Hurricanes. That has to be a record? Sad to see he was bought out, thought he could brought some nice veteran leadership on that right side.

 

[satbank]

Not surprise.

 

[Edmonton East]

To the Devils. Let's go

 

[iCanada]

Come on Mr Chiarelli...

 

[Brock Anton]

Uh, alright.

 

[GoldiFox]

Canes fans are all surprised. Really not sure why this happened. Canes are a Cap Floor team right now and Wizniewski was only owed $3 million this year.
