Considering McLeod was a healthy scratch for the Predators' previous seven outings -- and he is averaging a mere 6:49 of ice time when in the lineup -- his pending demotion to AHL Milwaukee shouldn't come as a surprise.
Perhaps more importantly for fantasy owners, the move would clear space under the 23-man limit for the club to activate Filip Forsberg (hand) off injured reserve.
Happy for Cody that he was claimed. He's probably in his last NHL season anyways before moving back to Colorado. At least he get to play some more games at the NHL level.
