Meyer was placed on waivers by the Sabres on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Meyer underwent surgery to repair an ACL injury in March, and he spent the first month of the regular season on injured reserve while he recovered. However, his placement on waivers Monday suggests that he's healthy and will head to AHL Rochester if he clears. He made 29 regular-season appearances for AHL Rochester last year, recording nine goals, 12 assists, 20 PIM and a minus-7 rating.

Meyer has 41 NHL games to his name, but didn't get to that level with the Ducks this season. He finishes the campaign with 21 points over 29 appearances for AHL San Diego. He will be a free agent this summer, but his market is likely to be limited to two-way contracts while he works his way back from surgery.

Rotowire
Meyer was placed on waivers Tuesday with the intent to assign him to AHL San Diego.

Meyer had a goal and an assist in 14 contests with Columbus in 2023-24. He also recorded 22 goals and 37 points across 55 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland.

Blue Jackets' Carson Meyer: Assigned to AHL
Rotowire
Meyer was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
The 25-year-old made a strong push for a roster spot in Columbus during camp, but Meyer ultimately fell victim to a numbers game on the wing and to the fact that he didn't need to be exposed on waivers to be sent down. "This guy's done nothing but do exactly what you want a pro to do," coach Bad Larsen said Wednesday. "The difference I see in him, last year to this year, is that last year I don't know if he believed in himself. I think he was working hard and he was in the NHL. This year, I think he's starting to understand, 'I belong here. I can do this now.' " Expect Meyer to be among the first players called up when injuries hit the Jackets' forward ranks.

Blue Jackets' Carson Meyer: Pots first NHL goal
Rotowire
Meyer scored his first NHL goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.
Meyer produced a pair of career firsts in short succession early in his second career NHL game. The 24-year-old winger notched his first career point by assisting on Brendan Gaunce's goal just 2:38 in, then one-upped that accomplishment by lighting the lamp himself a little more than 10 minutes later. Meyer had 16 goals in 56 games with AHL Cleveland prior to being promoted for the stretch run, so while he has some scoring touch, Meyer's probably not a guy you should be targeting on waivers at this point.
