Waived: Cody McCormick (Cleared, assigned to Rochester)

[Imagining Defeat]

Good...he's a great guy to have in the organization...

 

[S319R11S16]

Probably would have been different story if he was either A.) On the last year of his deal or B.) Not making $1.2M.

Will count $300k against the Sabres cap (pro-rated for the number of days he's with the Amerks of course).

 

[EichHart]

Very happy he cleared! Great guy and good 4th liner!

 

[Chainshot]

That salary is probably the biggest thing holding him back from being claimed.

I hope he goes down and plays with energy in Rochester. They're going to need it with Porter coming up... for now.

Well, those reports that Regier was trying to move him and couldn't find any takers were true.

Contract is a burden for a replacement-level player like Cody.

Same here, happy to hear it. Hope he can really make a difference there.

Hope at season's end he can be called Calder McCormick

stupid question, would a team get him for 1/2 his caphit on re-entry waivers?

that would be more dangerous imho.....

No more re-entry waivers in the new CBA, that's why Kevin Porter can just come up and doesn't have to be waived first. If he goes back down, he has to be waived.

Isn't that dependent on how long he's up (games and/or days)?
