The Komets have placed veteran forward/defenseman Blair Stayzer on waivers. If he is not claimed in 24 hours by another International Hockey League team, he'll be a free agent. Stayzer had one goal and 34 penalty minutes in 13 games this season. He's been on the 30-day injured reserve list since Dec. 4 with a concussion, but is now ready to play, Komets General Manager David Franke said.
``This is just because we needed to get down to 20 men on the roster,'' Franke said. ``He's healthy now and able to play. He got cleared by all the doctors, but we coudn't find a spot for him here either on defense or forward. We're going to let him go and see if he can hook on with somebody else in our league. We don't have any bad feelings about him or anything like that. It was just a numbers decision.''
