Blackhawks Place Forward Buddy Robinson on Waivers

With the NHL regular season approaching, the Chicago Blackhawks continue to trim down their roster. The Hawks placed forward Buddy Robinson on waivers Sunday.

The 6-foot-6 winger signed a two-way deal with Chicago on July 18. Robinson came over from Anaheim, where he scored six points (one goal, five assists) in 32 games last season.

He appeared in most of the Blackhawks' preseason games but didn't do much to stand out. Robinson committed a bad turnover that led to a Minnesota Wild goal in Thursday's game, which very well may have squashed his chances of making the NHL club.

If Buddy Robinson clears waivers, the Chicago Blackhawks will be able to assign him to the AHL Rockford IceHogs.
