Malone signed a two-year contract with the SCL Tigers of the Swiss National League, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
At 28 years old, it's increasingly unlikely Malone will get back to the NHL level in his career. The forward has one assist in two NHL contests. He's spent the bulk of his career with AHL Rochester.

Malone was sent back to AHL Rochester on Saturday
EDGE Analysis
Malone cleared waivers Tuesday and was called back up to the Sabres on Wednesday, but it looks like he'll ultimately begin the season in the AHL. The 27-year-old center hasn't logged minutes in the NHL since 2020, when he picked up an assist in his lone game with Nashville. Malone will serve as organizational depth for Buffalo in 2022-23.

Malone was called up from AHL Rochester on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Malone was waived Tuesday and cleared, but he'll now be back with the big club just a few days later. The 27-year-old has an outside chance to make the Opening Night roster, but he's logged just two career NHL games and wouldn't see more than a bottom-six job.

Malone was waived by Buffalo on Tuesday, per CBS.
EDGE Analysis
As long as he passes through waivers unclaimed, Malone will head to the Sabres' AHL affiliate for the start of the season. He hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2020-21.

Malone agreed to terms on a one-year, $750,000 contract with Buffalo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Malone failed to break into an NHL game this season, instead spending the entire year playing with the Americans. In 39 games with AHL Rochester, the 27-year-old center tallied 20 goals and 17 helpers, adding another seven points in 10 postseason contests. At this point, Malone figures to remain a fringe roster player and shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Malone was waived by Buffalo on Tuesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Malone will almost certainly join the Sabres' AHL affiliate if he passes through waivers unclaimed. The 26-year-old pivot picked up an assist in his lone appearance with the Predators last season.

Malone signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Malone got into one game for the Predators last season, registering an assist and two PIM. He added 15 points in 23 contests with AHL Chicago. Considering he is on a two-way contract, the 26-year-old shouldn't be expected to compete for more than a bottom-six job with the Sabres in training camp.

Malone was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Malone has only appeared in one game for Nashville all season, though he did manage to pick up an assist in 10:38 of ice time. He'll remain among the team's top call-up candidates should injuries strike.

Malone was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Malone has served as depth this year, drawing into just one game so far. The 25-year-old will continue practicing and traveling with the team for now, but his playing time will be scarce this season.
