The young winger (23) was picked 18th overall by Columbus in the 2018 NHL Draft. Liam is without a point in 1 match with the franchise this campaign after scoring 7 goals and earning 14 points in 62 matches in the past campaign.

The organization made the move because they wanted to clear a roster spot for the return of Zach Werenski from the injured reserve list.

Sens attacker Zack MacEwen, Pens attacker Jansen Harkins, and Sharks defenceman Radim Simek all cleared waivers today.

Ottawa forward Zack will be assigned to the AHL’s Belleville Senators while the franchise uses his squad spot to recall another defenceman.

Liam has 7 goals and 19 points in 90 matches in the National Hockey League, as he netted all of his goals in the past campaign.
