A costly mistake gets player sent straight to the minors
Saturday would have marked Trey Fix-Wolansky's 14th game in the National Hockey League. Instead, Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Brad Larsen has sent the 23-year-old to the AHL's Cleveland Monsters as punishment. Larsen told reporters that Fix-Wolansky overslept and missed a team meeting.

It's a costly mistake for Fix-Wolansky, who is currently on a two-way deal with the Blue Jackets. He gets $809k per year at the NHL level, but $70k in the minors. Contracts are pro-rated with games at each level taken into account.
Fix-Wolansky was drafted in the 7th round in 2018. He hasn't scored a point in seven NHL games this season. In 12 career games he has 1 goal and 1 assist.
Earlier this year Jonathan Drouin of the Canadiens was forced to sit on the bench for an entire game after he was late for a team meeting.
