There is no way of knowing how many teams put in a claim for Cory, but from the moment Bryan waived him the likely destination was Buffalo.
Tim was instrumental in making the trade to bring Cory to Ottawa, so it was unlikely the $67000 waiver price would dissuade him from claiming CC.
While I liked Cory's speed and tenacity, the fact is this team doesn't lack speed from the forward group.
Let me help you with the claim #'s, it was 8. Buffalo, Pheonix, Vancouver, Anaheim, Los Angeles, NYI,, Winnepeg, Florida. (source prominent NHL agent). If it wasn't the trade deadline and teams weren't scrambling I beleve Ed Wood's 20 would have been about right.
