Waived: Marc-Andre Cliche Claimed Off Waivers By the Colorado Avalanche

Doesn't he have to stay with Colorado ? Won't he have to be waived again to be send
down ?

it's my understanding that he has to stay on the NHL roster for 30 days before he can be assigned to the AHL team.

Manchester is going to miss MAC a ton. He was a great captain, and a patient teacher for the kids coming up. Here's hoping there's a spot for him on the Avs.

Great for Cliche. He's definitely paid his dues. Also, in some way, nice to be the org who everyone wants to steal waiver players from. Good luck!

That's not true. COL has to keep him on their roster. If at anytime Cliche is waived again, kings can reclaim him and send him to down to manchester without jeopardizing of being claimed by another team.

Not true at all. However in order to send him down Colorado will have to place Cliche on waivers at ANY point this season. At that point the Kings can reclaim him and assign him to minors without having to clear waivers. Colorado could waiver Cliche tommorrow if they wanted.

All the best to him. Guy deserved a chance, likely will be a decent 4th liner. We just are to deep upfront for him to crack the line up. Hopefully he gets to play regularly in Colorado and does well for them.

bummed out because I am going to miss him in Manchester. He was likely never going to get a long term chance in LA.
Wish him the best of luck.
