Sawada had a decent shot at making the 4th line RW position, but a combination of factors including Benn moving to RW, Benn outplaying everyone in camp, and Sawada not impressing led to his getting assigned to the AHL. Once there he almost immediately injured his thumb in a fight during a preseason game. It's unknown how long he'll be out and when he returns, the NHL does not appear to be in his immediate future.
