My understanding is that he would have to clear waivers to be assigned to Europe.
Otherwise teams could freely hide players in Europe instead of exposing them to waivers.
I also believe the Flames will have to continue to pay him fully in order to be able to recall him.
Assignment to Kladano makes some sense as he would get lots of ice time to get back in shape. It is also conceivable he would easily clear waivers as there appears to be little trade interest according to reports.
