MacInnis signed a one-year deal with German side Alder Mannheim on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis spent last primarily with AHL Rochester for which he garnered 11 goals and 16 assists in 49 contests. The 26-year-old center did appear in one game for the Sabres last year in which he logged 10:00 of ice time and recorded two shots. At this point, it's hard to see the St. Louis native ever becoming a full-time NHL option and could close out his playing days overseas.

The Sabres reassigned MacInnis to AHL Rochester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis recorded two shots in 10 minutes of ice time Thursday after being called up from the taxi squad. With only one point in 27 career games, the 25-year-old is unlikely to see NHL playing time once Buffalo's regular forwards return to full health.

MacInnis was promoted to the Sabres' main roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis has been given the green light to make his 2021-22 season debut against San Jose on Thursday. The 25-year-old was promoted to fill the vacancy left in Anders Bjork's (COVID-19) absence.

MacInnis was elevated to the taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season. The 25-year-old has recorded six goals and 10 assists through 26 performances with AHL Rochester in 2021-22. The Missouri-born center has tallied 11 points in his last 12 AHL games.

The Sabres reassigned MacInnis to AHL Rochester on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis had been on the taxi squad since Thursday and will now resume his season in the AHL. His most recent NHL action came last season, when he went pointless in 16 games with Columbus.

MacInnis was elevated to the taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis hasn't skated on NHL ice since last season, when he made 16 appearances but failed to record a point. This season with AHL Rochester, the 25-year-old has recorded five goals and 10 assists through 24 games.

MacInnis was waived by Buffalo on Tuesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis has drawn into 26 games with Columbus over the past two seasons, so he'll likely get a look with the Sabres at some point during the upcoming campaign, but this move suggests he'll start the season in the minors.

MacInnis signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Sabres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis will likely compete for a fourth-line role in Buffalo. He appeared in 26 games with the Blue Jackets over the past two seasons, totaling a paltry one assist without a goal.

MacInnis was promoted to the active roster Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jackets were sellers over the weekend, so MacInnis is part of the wave of reinforcements being called up. The 26-year-old has played just six NHL games without a point this season, but the Jackets could lean on him more down the stretch.

MacInnis was dropped to the taxi squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

MacInnis averaged just 10:01 of ice time in the team's last six contests in which he registered four shots, 11 hits and one block. The center reassignment is likely just temporary and he figures to be back on the active roster ahead of Tuesday's tilt with Tampa Bay, though Zac Dalpe could also be an option for a fourth-line role.
