Leier has cleared waivers and will remain in AHL Rochester, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leier signed an NHL contract on Monday, and he had to clear waivers to remain eligible for AHL Rochester. The contract suggests he would be one of the first options for a call-up should there be injuries to the Sabres forward group.

Leier agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Buffalo on Monday worth $700,000.

EDGE Analysis

Leier has been playing for AHL Rochester on a minor-league deal and appears to have shown the organization enough to warrant a two-way contract. The 26-year-old has notched seven goals and one helper in 17 outings for the Americans this season. With his contract in hand, the winger is eligible to be promoted to the NHL, though he will need to clear waivers first.

Leier, finally recovered from labrum surgery, plans to make his season debut Wednesday for Rochester of the AHL, Bill Hoppe of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forward tore his labrum in a freak off-ice accident and has yet to make his debut for the 2019-20 season. Leier finished well after being acquired by the Sabres organization in exchange for Justin Bailey last season, finishing with 23 points in 35 games, so he'll finally get a chance to get back at it and prove he deserves more than just a one-way deal.

Leier (shoulder) is considered out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

Leier has yet to play this season after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery and remains without a timetable for his return to the lineup. Once he's healthy, the 25-year-old will be a key piece up front for AHL Rochester, but he won't have a role with the big club in 2019-20.

Leier (undisclosed) signed a one-year contract with Rochester of the AHL for the 2019-20 season, Jason Wolf of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leier is currently recovering from an undisclosed surgery, but is expected to be ready for the upcoming season. While Leier posted a solid 42 points in 69 games last season for a couple of AHL organizations, he's viewed as more of a depth piece than anything else.

The Flyers traded Leier to the Sabres in exchange for Justin Bailey on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

This is nothing more than a swap of minor-league assets, as Leier and Bailey both have yet to appear in an NHL contest this campaign. The 24-year-old forward will undoubtedly report to his new club's AHL affiliate.

Leier was designated for waivers by the Flyers on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Leier will likely begin the season in the minors, a looming legal situation for Jori Lehtera could muddy the waters for the Flyers lineup. In the meantime, the youngster Leier will suit up with the Phantoms for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.

Leier signed a one-year extension with the Flyers on Sunday, CapFriendly reports. The deal is worth $720,000.

EDGE Analysis

As noted by CapFriendly, Leier actually accepted a less lucrative deal in order to ensure that he wouldn't fall under two-way terms. This means he should be up for most - if not all - of 2018-19. He has accumulated seven points and maintained a minus-8 rating over 55 NHL games, so the Flyers will be expecting improvement from Leier in the upcoming season.

Leier applied for salary arbitration Thursday, according to NHLPA.com.

EDGE Analysis

Leier hasn't been given much of a chance to shine, as he's only drawn into 55 NHL games and averaged 9:56 of ice time. Over that span, the pivot's recorded a mere two goals and five assists. Leier protects the puck well and he's being groomed on the penalty kill, but we can't see him being worth much more than the $806,558 that he received on his last one-year deal with the Flyers.

Leier was extended a qualifying offer from the Flyers on Monday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leier saw action in just 39 games for Philadelphia last season, but didn't spend any time in the minors for the first time in his career. While it's a step in the right direction, the winger's inability to secure regular minutes limits his fantasy value. Even when he is in the lineup, the 23-year-old figures to be in a bottom-six role.
