    Sabres might waive Hecht

    listening to Sirius/XM Home Ice this morning they were talking about how the Sabres beat up on Boston last night and then they threw Hecht's name out there saying that the Sabres might waive Hecht.

    they said that there is talk about the Sabres waiving Jochen Hecht. Same thing that they did with Rivet last year Hecht is suffering through concussion problems and he's slated to become an UFA after this season and which would free up 3.5M on the cap so they would be able to make a trade or a few trades at the deadline.

    The week before the trade deadline the Sabres had attempted to trade Craig Rivet but was unsuccessful so he was waived on February 23. He cleared waivers and was assigned to the Sabres’ AHL affiliate. On February 25, Rivet entered re-entry wavers and was claimed by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

    If they waive him, don't they still have to take the cap hit?

    I thought the only way to get rid of a cap hit in the NHL was to trade a player to another team that takes over the hit. And no one is going to take that hit for Hecht at this point in his career.

          I believe so. And if he is hurt, especially long term, his contract won't count against the cap.

                  This seems wrong, on so many levels.

                    Yes, until doctors clear him to play, and he's removed from LTIR

                      WOW, I remember posting back when the Sabres were in Tampa that he would be traded soon.
                      Injuries killed this team so a trade or release couldn't happen....
                      Yea a release or more then likely
