I checked Enroth's stats and he had a save % ranging from 9.03 - 9.19 in Buffalo and Dallas but 9.22 and 2.17 GAA with us. He tanked in 6 games with the Leafs with a 8.72 S% and a 3.94 GAA. I remember that Enroth was solid for us but he moved on because he wanted more games. Tough year for him, getting sent down to the AHL and then traded. Our system gets the best out of goalies, I guess. If I was a backup goalie for L.A., I'd never want to leave. Unless my name was Martin Jones.

Evidently Hackett and Tokarski are injured.
 
I know it's a 7th rounder but why didn't they just claim Gust from Edmonton to fill in till their AHL goalies get healthy.

Perhaps it's because the Gulls have a game tonight? To get Gustavsson down the AHL, they would have had to have waived him again which would have taken another 24 hours. I forget if there's any CBA mandated "minimum" stay that a guy claimed on waivers has to remain on the parent roster; namely you can't immediately waive a guy that you were awarded on waivers.

oh right...good point
 
Still a bit curious to give up the pick if it really is just for a game. But perhaps that's solely out of the delusion that they'd give me a call to be the beer leaguer backup for a game.

Pretty sure a claimed waiver player has to stay on the NHL roster for 30 days.
 
Ducks are just racking up Kings backup goalies. I don't get it.

Hmmm...can't stop talking **** about the kings during their games, Boudreau copying our style/system when he was still with the ducks, trading for ex-kings....

Preds have a tough decision for Expansion draft

http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/...ors-hinge-whether-re-sign-veteran-mike-fisher

Due to Ellis, PK, Josi and Ekholm, the Preds will most likely go with the 8 skaters....Neal, Johanson and Forsberg are 3 and they they have to choose 1 more.

but who...

I disagree and think they go 7-3 route. This would expose Ekholm or Josi. Either way they will be losing a good player. LA is set up better than most other teams.

I'd go 4+4 for them.

F: Forsberg, Neal, Johansen, Arvidsson
D: Josi, Subban, Ekholm, Ellis

Vegas would probably pick between Colin Wilson or Craig Smith. Wilson has shown flashes but never seemed to be able to put it together. Smith has potted 20 a few times, but is replaceable from a Nashville perspective.

Minnesota will be an interesting team since they have five D worth protecting.
