And to write off a draft before it even starts is more ridiculous. These are 17/18 year olds with lots of room to growPlease stop perpetuating this myth.
This does smell like a trade involving Kipper and it better be a serious overpayment because his value is obviously at an all time low. Johansson would be very nice as would Patrik Berglund of the Blues who are also in dire need of goaltending at the moment.
I'm concerned this means Kipper might be out for longer than we originally had hoped.
Yuuuuuuup.
Thats what this is guys. Its a depth move.
Kipper skated today and is expected to play weds, why do we need Macdonald for 1 game?
Well fark.
Nevermind then.
Someone must be toast then..

To be Clear- Kiprusoff skated this am #Flames but..no normal movements, no butterfly, no knee bends..etcs..seems like a while yet to me.
Either we are trading 1 of Kipper/Irving, or the organization has given up on Irving.
Skating doesn't mean he will be back in 2 days. I think MacKenzie is off the mark here. According to local reports all Kipper did is skate and if it is a knee injury that tells me he will not be back for at least a few gamesKipper skated today and is expected to play weds, why do we need Macdonald for 1 game?
Maybe Kipper is out for a while yet and Feaster and Hartley wanted a more veteran backup.
Irving is scheduled to start tonight but Feaster refused to address the media about picking Macdonald off waivers.

Kiprusoff skating today. If all goes well, Kiprusoff comes off IR and likely to play Wednesday. MacDonald expected to be Kiprusoff's backup.

If they found a team willing to pay big for an elite goaltender, I would be extremely happy. What good does kipper do or a team that cannot get into the playoffs. If we didn't have him, we'd have some serious picks Ye last few years.
Fingers crossed we can trade him and get some help down the middle. It might be a hockey trade, not a pick/prospect situation. Teams I think would need Kipps this year: WSH, TOR, Philly, NJD, NYI. You know he ain't going anywhere in the west. No way.
That seems contradictory to
Or maybe Feaster has a deal to get our 2nd pick back an thus file an offer sheet for R.O.R.??????
Hockey News may be bad, but it's not Eric Francis bad.Lol the hockey news is one of the worst sites for accuracy in hockey. It's like a site full of Eric Francis. And that's the first article I have read saying it isn't deep.
