If I claim a guy off waivers do I assume his contract? Or does the old club still pay some portion of it?

Yes, you are responsible for remaining money owed to that player. As of right now, you would assume his entire contract, if its mid-season then its pro-rated of course.
An option is if you see a player on waivers you are interested in, you could talk trade with that team if he were to go unclaimed and maybe get them to pay a portion.
