The Buffalo Sabres announced on Sunday afternoon that they've place 30-year-old forward Riley Sheahan on unconditional waivers for the purpose of a contract buyout.

Sheahan, a 2010 first round pick of the Detroit Red Wings, signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres in August and was hoping for a successful second stint with the organization.

The St. Catherines (Ontario) native has spent the majority of his second stint with the Sabres in the American Hockey League with the Rochester Americans, putting up three assists in six games. In two games for Buffalo, he had no points.

When Sheahan clears waivers on Monday at 2 p.m. ET, he'll become an unrestricted free agent.
