Doubt it
He hasn't payed in a while, which means they were shopping him and found no takers. No reason to assume anyone would do them a favor for free

If he gets claimed Stars would be very very happy. Frees up $3.33333M Capspace right now and for next year. It's why i'm skeptical he gets claimed. He ain't cheap. Even owed more money than his caphit

That's a solid pick-up for free. I was foaming at the mouth at the thought of him platooning or backing up Jarry but Casey Desmith has put together a string of very good games so he may be out of his funk.

I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't get claimed and then a deal is made after to take a contract back.

Surely he will get claim, I wonder who has the cap space for it.
NJ,Buffalo,PIT maybe ANA ?
A long shot would be Montreal, if they have received offers for Allen or if Price can't return soon.

People really think he is going to get claimed?
$3.33M this year and NEXT.. for a shit goalie?

Devils might take a chance, but I hope they've got their scouts busy watching tape to see if there's something wrong with him this year that he has such bad numbers. Also depends on what is really wrong with Bernier.

Most people's last memory of him is probably the bubble cup run.
No chance the Habs claim him.
I doubt they have any interest and have no cap space.

And his salary next year is $3.75M.
For a guy with a sub-.880 Save% this season after being below average last season.

Would be surprised if anybody splurged on $3.33m x 2y for a guy having a bad year to be your backup.
Troy McClure
Should’ve drafted Makar
He's a dude with a great personality. Seems to also be an awesome teammate, but he's washed up. He was very bad last season and the few games he played this season.

Don't watch Stars games but is he finished or just struggling this season? a new team he can bounce back from.

I'd think Dallas would have called around before waiving him. If there was any market, they would have traded him. Heck, even for 'future considerations' it saves the claiming team like $30K.

I wanted him or Halak, guess I will go for Halak instead.

No one will claim him. But it's pretty common for players to be traded right after clearing waivers.
Dallas is just checking if they can get someone to take him at full price before pulling the trigger on a move that leaves them with a smaller cap hit.

Halak's availability depends on how far Van can claw their way back before the TDL, if they're even sniffing a wild card spot theres no way they deal him.
Khudobin might be worth a gamble depending how much 75% retention would cost. I'm assuming Dallas would eat 50% for peanuts, but I'd be curious to see the price for a 3rd party team to retain on top of it. He's definitely not the worst depth option on the market.
