The Buffalo Sabres have placed three of their players on waivers.
The Buffalo Sabres have placed James Reimer, Kale Clague, and Lukas Rousek on waivers.
Out of this trio, Reimer is easily the most notable. The 36-year-old signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Sabres during this off-season with the hope of competing for Buffalo's backup job. However, he has now been put on waivers, and teams looking for some help between the pipes could consider claiming him. If he clears, he will be joining the Rochester Americans.
