I was pretty much thinking the exact same thing.Niemi must really be racking up those frequent flier miles.

He's probably going to try and make all 31 NHL teams before he's done.Glad Niemi gets to see many teams before he exits the league
This has everything to do with Montoya's concussion.
Price literally spoke to the media and said he'd be playing if it was the playoffs. Lindgren's play is why he's taking extra time to get 100%.
Montreal doesn't want Fucale riding the pine in Montreal rather than getting minutes in Laval.
I'd guess Niemi will be waived when Price returns in a week or so.
He can't be waived again for a month. So, he'll take up a roster spot for that period of time whether he's dressed/playing or not.
his 700k salary? Why does Montreal care if they are?
Fair point. I'm not sure Montreal's all that bothered though. They have a local farm team, so they can be pretty quick with call-ups. They're also at home for the next month (except for next week and a game against Detroit). Not really an issue for them to send Lindgren up and down when Price is healthy.
Niemi is better than Fucale. It means Montoya is injured for a long time.
Well that sure was unexpected. Lot of teams seems to like Niemi this year...
No, he really isn't...but developmentally it makes more sense for Fucale to be starting in Laval rather than backing up Price. Same basic reason Pittsburgh took a flyer on him the first time around (replace Fucale with Jarry).
Are you sure? He was waived by Florida less than a month before Pittsburgh waived himHe can't be waived again for a specific period of time which I can't remember what it is haha. So, he'll take up a roster spot for that period of time whether he's dressed/playing or not.
Except in this case,Fucale could probably do a better job of winning a game or keeping his team in it long enough to do so. Niemi is all kinds of bad and I was one of the hopeful ones about the Niemi signing. Not sure why anyone would even bother, but this will be one of many stops this year, Montreal won't be the last one, that's for sure.
I believe the rule for waivers is if he PASSES through then he is free to move up and down for 30 days or 10 games. He was claimed so he wasn't protected from bei g waived again.Are you sure? He was waived by Florida less than a month before Pittsburgh waived him
Getting Niemi its to replace Montoya who's also injured . Lindgren will be sent to Laval when Price returnsPrice injury not looking good
That's all oilers, we will get the 14th overall pick.Uh-Oh.
Where is the best site for Habs fans to order their Dahlin jersey?
