Waived: Nedeljkovic (clears, reassigned to GR)

[cvaicunas]

What's going on Mr Yzerman?
My guess is why pay 3mil for backup if you could have one for under 1 . Does he trying save money to sign something big and have big playoffs push , just like Blue Jackets did couple years ago

He was not the backup option when he signed him? Cap space obviously does not roll over when not used in the NHL. To me it does not hurt if he 'gambles' for a season when there is clear cap space available. If Ned worked out, we would be cheering that we had a number 1 for 3 mil. He ended up not working, and his contract clearly had no negative effect, affect (hell I bachelors I swear), on our cap space for this year.

He didn’t earn more than 9 starts. Hell, 9 is probably 5 too many for Ned this year. He was awful.

I could argue the same for Hellberg. Given time I think Hellberg is going to have the same level of stinkers as well.

Ned to the boys in Grand Rapids…

 

[14ari13]

No team claims him.

Or... Magnus is a 10 game heater away from being the best goalie we have...

For argument's sake, here are the number. Both don't have a big sample size.

Ned sent down, Hagg recalled from IR.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Definitely he is overpaid

Next question do they waive Hellberg?

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Next question do they waive Hellberg?

Why would they? They waived Ned. They don't need to waive them both. In fact, waiving Ned and his big salary for what he is was done to keep Hellberg around.

Hagg recalled from IR.

We're officially tanking!

 

[stillwater]

Every other GM in the NHL believes Ned can't stop the puck.

 

[Bench]

Glad to see Neddy gets to stay and keep working on things. The outlook is a little grim, but I've seen sicker dogs get well.

 

[Henkka]

Every other GM in the NHL believes Ned can't stop the puck.

Not maybe every other, but everybody who had cap space to add 3M, did that decision.

There was 10 teams, who had more cap room than Ned's caphit.

 

[14ari13]

Hagg and Lindstrom and we easily lose every game.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

We're officially tanking!

I totally forgot we had him on the team. I thought he was just being benched

Great day for GR .
