The NHL's last-place team is making a move.
Buffalo Sabres forward Matt Moulson will be placed on waivers at noon Monday for the purpose of assignment, the club announced. Should he clear waivers, he'll be sent to the AHL's Rochester Americans.
The veteran winger carries a $5-million cap hit and has yet to record a single point through 14 appearances this season. Signed to a five-year contract by previous general manager Tim Murray, Moulson remains under contract through the end of 2018-19.
His deal includes a modified no-trade clause, meaning he can submit a list of 12 teams he'd agree to be sent to if there happened to be any interest.
TSN's Darren Dreger reports there were efforts to make a trade:
Moulson was willing to expand list and Buffalo was willing to eat some of the salary. Unfortunately, no interest at this time. https://t.co/wAoaiDczFS
