  • Corey Potter: Signs contract with German team

    Rotowire

    Potter agreed to a one-year contract with Kolner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga on Friday.

    Potter has played in just seven NHL games over the last two seasons, recording no points and a mere two shots on goal. In the AHL this year, the defenseman tallied 20 points in 70 regular-season outings in addition to 44 PIM. At 32 years old, Potter's unlikely to find his way back to the NHL following this stint in Europe.

  • Predators' Corey Potter: Promoted to Nashville

    Rotowire

    Potter was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

    Potter is expected to see action as the Predators are resting Roman Josi and Shea Weber to prepare for the postseason. Since joining AHL Milwaukee via trade, the blueliner has tallied just three helpers and 12 PIM. While he is a solid defensive player, the 32-year-old does not write himself onto the scoresheet enough to warrant a spot in most fantasy lineups.

  • Predators' Corey Potter: Traded to Predators

    Rotowire

    Potter was traded to the Predators on Monday in exchange for future considerations.

    Potter did not draw into any games with Arizona this season as he was playing for AHL Springfield where he tallied five goals and 12 assists in 52 contests. It seems reasonable to expect that the 32-year-old veteran will wind up finishing the year with AHL Milwaukee, the Predators' AHL affiliate.

    The Coyotes have signed Potter to a one-year, two-way contract, and sent him to the minors, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.Potter was in training camp on a professional tryout contract. He made his way into 62 games with the Oilers back in 2011-12, though he's only seen 58 games between the Oilers, Bruins and Flames since then. There is no evidence at this point to suggest that Potter will suddenly earn a full-time role with the ¿Yotes.

    Potter signed a professional tryout contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday.Potter spent time in both the minors and in the NHL with the Flames last season, serving mostly as a seventh defenseman for the latter squad. The 31-year-old is best qualified for a depth role at the NHL level that involves little ice time, which the Coyotes may be inclined to give him if they decide some of their younger options on the blue line need more development time in the minors.
