Budaj signs a 2 year deal with Tampa. 1M per year.
Not that long ago he was playing in the minors making 100K/year. Now he's got a 7 figure salary in the NHL. Good for him.
Good for Budaj. After Quick went down he was really in a lose/lose situation, but he did quite well, considering (the impossible task).
give up a goal - it's gonna be tough to win the game
give up two goals - it's pretty much over.
He didn't steal a lot of games (if any), but he rarely was the sole fault in a loss.
If you don't score, you're not gonna win.
Another tweet by Staple also mentions Vegas selecting Kulemin in the expansion draft.
Lots of Russians in the desert.

Looks like McPhee is coming off his deadline of yesterday to conclude deals and circling back to some teams one last time.

According to several sources, there is a legitimate possibility Hossa has played his final NHL game. (He could not be reached for comment. Neither could his agent, Ritch Winter. The Blackhawks declined to comment.) Apparently, he suffers from a serious allergic reaction to the equipment he wears.
The sources who confirmed the allergy stressed not to make fun of it, with one saying, “It’s only funny to anyone who’s never had it.†Details are sketchy, because no one would give full information, but the medication necessary to combat the allergy is potent enough that doctors wanted his blood tested every few weeks to make sure there were no major side effects.
That’s very serious stuff, and word is doctors worried about Hossa taking the medicine for extended periods of time.
Vegas unveils their uniforms.
Not good.
