Maybe one of our resident CBA experts can clarify though...

Colbourne is not waiver exempt. He will have to pass through waivers to be sent down.

2 way contract means little with regards to waiver status. 2 way refers to how much money they will make if sent to the AHL. Example: Colborne is a 2 way contract. In the AHL, he makes $65,000, in the NHL he makes $875,000. If we send him down, he gets the AHL salary, up in the NHL he gets NHL. If we sent down Stajan (random name don't freak out), he would get his NHL salary of $1.75M regardless.
