A few groups are going to have some selections in internet this week
Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Ideas: The Podcast – Six Seeeeven for Mason McTavish episode, on the way it’s doubtless going to be an attention-grabbing week on the goalie waiver wire. There are some goaltenders who could possibly be positioned on waivers quickly, and if they might get claimed.

“I believe this week Kyle goes to be one of many extra attention-grabbing weeks on the waiver wire to see which goalies get there and when. Columbus put (Ivan) Fedotov by. I at all times thought that was a man who was going to clear. I imply, groups might have had him final summer season in the event that they needed him, and, so I’m not stunned he cleared.
However you realize, Toronto’s obtained a state of affairs with Joseph Woll, and you realize, I wish to respect his privateness. The one factor I’m going to say about it’s I simply don’t suppose anyone is aware of what the timeline is true now. So they carry Reimer in on a PTO. I assume he’s going to play one of many two video games towards Detroit this week, after which, you realize, we’ll see what they determine to do.

However there’s no less than two goalies who’re going to go on waivers this week. Who, or could go on waivers this week. I shouldn’t say that you just by no means know what’s going to occur. I’m actually curious to see. Do they go by? Do they get traded beforehand? Do their groups attempt to maintain three goalies? Do their groups, nicely, considered one of them will not be going to maneuver another person, however and people goalies are Michael DiPietro and Clay Stevenson. DiPietro in Boston and Stevenson is in Washington.
Now, the Bruins signed DiPietro to a two-year deal, and I believe that’s one of many issues they had been hoping, is that second 12 months may scare some groups off. However you realize, proper now, the Bruins have (Jeremy) Swayman in fact, and so they’ve obtained (Joonas) Korpisalo. So we’ll see what they do with DiPietro, or what they do in internet.
And naturally, the Capitals have Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren, who had been wonderful for them final 12 months. However Clay Stevenson is a very attention-grabbing participant. He’s, they signal him for 3 years. He’s obtained two left. You recognize, final 12 months his minor wage was two-ways. The subsequent two years, it’s $775,000, and I wager you the Capitals are sort of hoping that possibly that will scare some groups off, however I’m not satisfied it’ll.
I’ll say this, that when Clay Stevenson signed with Washington out of school, one other group that actually appreciated him had been the Rangers. Like, the Rangers had been disillusioned that he didn’t signal there. So I believe Washington is aware of that it’s going to be exhausting to sneak him by.

And so I have a look at what’s Toronto gonna do. What’s a few of these different groups gonna do? And I might see the Bruins and the Capitals particularly, being somewhat nervous about these two guys and attempting to determine, how will we defend them? Can we do one thing? Ir will we simply, are we, are we simply, Are we going to hold three or are we simply going to be resigned the actual fact we now have to take our probabilities?
Now, I do know final week, Connor Ingram, he cleared. And with Ingram, and I don’t wish to make mild of this. I root for Conor Ingram. I would like him to do extraordinarily nicely, however he simply hasn’t been accessible on a regular basis over the previous couple of years, and I believe that scared some groups away. I hope he goes right down to the American Hockey League if he’s not traded, and he will get off to an superior begin and intrigues some groups. I hope it really works out for him. However I wasn’t stunned at that quantity that he didn’t get claimed this time round.
DiPietro and Stevenson, I’ve little question groups are going to be wanting exhausting on the, at these two guys.
Friedman: “Additionally Kyle. I did wish to point out, individuals had been stunned that Edmonton didn’t take Ingram. What did we be taught after we had been in Edmonton about Calvin Pickard?”
Bukaukas: “He could also be the preferred man in that room.”
NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, and the New York Rangers
Friedman: “Yeah, massively fashionable teammate. He’s at 1,000,000. Now, clearly, guys like DiPietro and Stevenson can be much less. But in addition Pickard, when he’s performed, he’s gotten W’s for the Oilers.
And I might see them wanting on the wage for Ingram and saying no. however the best way the gamers to a person, discuss, discuss Pickard. I’d be curious to see if the Oilers can be, would wish to unseat him.”
Bukauskas: “Oh, yeah, I believe the reply is not any, there.”
Friedman: “This enterprise. And when you consider in a man like Stevenson or DiPietro, you must have a look at it. However I used to be very intrigued by what these guys stated about him. And the one motive I’d even surprise is these guys make lower than him. However it’s very, very clear he’s a massively fashionable participant in that room.
Anyway, I believe there might be groups this week curious to see what groups like, what, what, what the Bruins do and the Capitals do.”
Bukauskas: “Yeah. Must also level out, when the Oilers have a mixed $3.6 million of their wage cap devoted to their internet.”
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs, Panthers, Kuznetsov, Fleury, and Eichel
Friedman: “They usually they consider that so much, so much.”
Bukauskas: “It’s not just like the, the goaltending place is weighing down their their cap flexibility proper now.”
