Predators' Cody Hodgson: Clears waivers, could join AHL Milwaukee

Hodgson cleared waivers and was assigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

It's a bit surprising that no teams put in a claim for Hodgson, the 10th overall pick by the Canucks in 2008. Hodgson is regarded as a two-way player with supreme hockey smarts. In 328 career games at the NHL level, he's notched 64 goals and 78 assists. The Predators recently acquired a star forward in Ryan Johansen, and that likely contributed to Hodgson getting waived in the first place.
