Waived: Husso on waivers

[Gniwder]

Husso sucks.. it'd nothing more than that...no way he gets claimed...maybe a team would take him at 50% plus a 3rd for "future considerations"

I think there's a few teams that might be interested with 50% retention:
- Utah, because they're trying to build a fan base
- Calgary, because they traded Markstrom
- Anaheim, because they were desperate enough to pick Reimer off waivers with Gibson on IR

The rest of the teams with cap space are trying to tank or have newly acquired goalies. Husso's contract expires this season, so it's low risk. Just a matter of money.

Sorry Hu. We wanted you to be "that guy".

Verbeek doing his old pal a favour maybe. Didn't Mike Grier help his pal Chris Drury with Barclay Goodrow earlier this year?

I doubt Pat would do a $4.75M favor. Maybe half. We'd probably have to take Reimer in return. (His full contract can be buried though.)

Not too surprised. I think his strong preseason was what kept this from happening before the season started. They gave him his last chance, he blew it.

He gave up softies in the preseason too. Definitely not strong.

This is where I am. My initial reaction was ‘definitely not getting claimed.’ But then I saw a few comments/posts in the world saying he’s going to get claimed and I wondered what I was missing.

He just laid an egg and he is expensive. And has significant injury history. The attraction just can’t be much higher than rock bottom.

ECHL or a loan to a euro club.

That was fast.

So much for all of the Blues castaways and trades (Perron/Sunny/Kostin/Walman/Fabbri/Husso). Tank is the only one left, and he was acquired via UFA. Maybe we're finally done dumpster diving their roster to feed our Prioritytm dumpster fire.

ECHL or a loan to a euro club.

Gylander and Alexander are in Toledo based on their roster.

Campbell is on PAP and Subban is on GR PTO. So GR has a roster spot if Husso clears. I doubt he gets loaned to Europe, because it would be harder to recall him if a goalie gets injured.
