Girardi made his retirement official.

A little surprised I thought he would get a 1 year deal somewhere

 

[These Are The Days]

Girardi made his retirement official.

I was just about to post this. I was hoping he'd come back but I guess he was contemplating retirement that whole time as opposed to waiting for another deal. Best of luck to him

Come back take the spot of rutta!

Girardi is pretty damn bad so obviously no one gave him a contract. Hedman was just barely able to make him look like an NHL player.

Dan Girardi has officially retired. Thanks for your efforts G.

How were we not able to unload him for a 5th-6th rounder? Arggggh

The same way we didn’t get point signed just couldn’t I’d be surprised if he got claimed there just is not many teams needing an nhl back up

 

[Todd1a]

Was condon waived yet ?

What the hell are you talking about? He did fine for what he brought to the team. You really do have some of the worst takes.

What if dom does not get claimed lol we will still have too many goalies!

Dom and Condon will get assigned to the AHL, even if it's not Syracuse.

That could be the best scenario for us, as we keep Domingue and we can hope some team ask to trade for him during the season (injuries, bad backup,...)

Why there hasn't still been the official "Louis Domingue has been put on waivers" announcement? It's 12:12PM already

It's the first day for waivers so there's probably going to be a glut of guys around the league waived today. Dom and Condon have been waived though.

Because maybe they traded him before noon ?

I was secretly hoping for a last minute trade

I get that he just retired but you can’t actually believe he was a good defenseman. He worked ok thanks to Hedman but in any other situation he wouldn’t have done shit. Definitely not worth the 3 mil we were paying him. We could’ve signed any league minimum Dman to do the same thing he did.

 

[JoVel]

Girardi was at his best when getting 3rd pairing minutes with Coburn. He did fine there. The contract wasn't good by any means but it didn't give us any trouble so who cares?

 

[bov]

Good for him. Solid career, shot blocking machine and a good stay-at-home d-man especially in the Torts days with the Rangers. That said, he was definitely on the back 9 and was, at best, our #6 imo. Best of luck to him in retirement, I wonder if he will end up sticking around in a different capacity down the road.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Also surprised we didn't get anything for Domingue. Would figure someone would come calling for a backup at some point.

Storm the waiver wire. They can't claim us all.
