Chorney was assigned to ECHL Wheeling on Tuesday.

Analysis:

The 27-year-old Chorney has bounced around the minors the last several seasons, but could be recalled as the team's seventh defenseman for the first couple weeks of 2014-15 (until Robert Bortuzzo returns). Both Scott Harrington and Brian Dumoulin have been sent to Wilkes-Barre, setting the stage for Chorney to return after Tuesday's procedural, salary-cap demotion.
