.948 save percentage in the NHL, 31 years old which I hear is the new 23, named Gross Nick. Seems like a solid pickup.

So two weeks to quarantine, another week or so to reach Edmonton by sled dog, should be ready to play mid February.

Holland is going to smuggle him across the border so he could suit up quicker

He can join the Canadian goalie carousel.

Too bad it's not Darling they picked up for Valentine's Day.

Just don't call Mike Richards for help.

Too late

Another day, another random non-impact goalie gets picked on waivers

As opposed to all those superstar goalies you see on waivers.

We've upgraded to GT sleds actually.

Decent AHL numbers but hasn't played NHL since 2014-15 . Guess the Oilers are desperate.

They were desperate when they signed Mike Smith. Now they just need a body.

Its odd to me that he hasn't had more NHL time given that he seems to be a pretty good AHL goalie,
and that his 2 nhl starts went well.

By no means does that mean he's NHL level, but as a #3 .... can't be to angry.

Well with Smith on LTIR, he is our backup and might more than double his current NHL resume

Shame that Carolina and Winnipeg had to take that opportunity away from Forsberg but I guess that's gamesmanship

The league definitely erred by not having some level of protection on 3rd string goalies (ie roster or waiver exemption)

Feel for the Oilers

Made this years ago.

 

[Osprey]

He played in LA's only scrimmage last Saturday and stopped 0 of 3 shots in the shootout. That was encouraging...

It can be argued they did—the taxi squad makes it far easier for teams to run with one less F or D then they normally would and keep the 3rd G on the roster. Many teams chose to do this.

That's true

For those interested, this cost Edmonton $11,250, paid to Los Angeles and not counted against the cap.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Unrealistically hope he has Tim Thomas like career this stage in his life.

Not that Forsberg is a huge loss but the NHL is a bush league in everything they do. I love the sport but seriously the high ups need a brain transplant

Don't worry so much!

We have the best Zamboni driver in the Nhl ready, only 3 steps down!
