So - he was $700K a year - if you needed a goalie, it would cost you $350K to pull him off waivers. Honestly though - I think he's damaged goods at this point. I'd be shocked if he stays above AHL level at this point. Maybe the KHL will grab him once he clears.

Time table on Fluery was just listed as days - not weeks. So that's good for them. Not sure what they got down deep in the goalie position, but we're about to find out. They may want to grab Niemi for a few games - at half the cost - he may be better than what they have sitting out there.

I'm still betting the GN will have went down several positions once things settle in. What is shocking is where the Oilers are. Would have expected a dogfight at the top with them, Ducks, Kings and Sharks....well, it's pre-season
Sometimes those really good seasons are the fluke - not the other way around. Oilers don't make the playoffs - I think it would be a huge mark on McDavid's legacy.

Needless, it should be a good match up tomorrow between Crosby / McDavid. Pit / Edmonton fans were never really granted many Gretzky / Lemieux matches through their careers. Unfortunately though, I need to travel to Flyer territory tomorrow - so doubtful I'll get the watch the game. Maybe stream it online...
