Buffalo Sabres Announce Waiver for Carson Meyer
The Buffalo Sabres have recently announced that forward Carson Meyer has been placed on waivers, as reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. This move suggests that Meyer, who is 28 years old, is set to kick off his season after recovering from an injury that had kept him off the ice since the beginning of the current season.
Contract and Previous Performance
During the off-season, the Sabres secured Meyer’s services by signing him to a two-year, two-way deal, aiming to bolster their roster with depth. The Powell, Ohio native previously played for the San Diego Gulls in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he enjoyed a productive season, accumulating 21 points through nine goals and 12 assists in just 29 games, alongside 20 penalty minutes.
Future Prospects
Should Meyer successfully clear waivers, he is expected to integrate into the Rochester Americans, the Sabres’ AHL affiliate, where he can contribute significantly to their forward lineup. Throughout his career in the NHL, Meyer has participated in 41 games across three seasons, where he has recorded two goals, four assists, and a total of six points, with 14 penalty minutes and a minus-4 rating.
His last stint in the NHL was with the Columbus Blue Jackets during the 2023-24 season, where he achieved a career milestone by totaling one goal, one assist, and a notable 37 hits.
