Players like Salomaki, Rinaldo, Gaudreau are a dime a dozen and can be found on the waiver wire.
Regarding Turris' injury that kept him out:
Well at least Smith got injured before the playoffs as he is usually healthy all season then gets hurt during the playoffs.
Doubt it's a ploy per se, I'm sure he's actually injured. But it could be a minor injury he'd normally play through and they're figuring give him some dedicated time off to heal from it while also taking advantage of the extra roster spot.Still hoping this is a ploy to have an open roster spot after tomorrow's game. Was he hurt in practice? Dont remember him leaving a game...

For anyone familiar with the stationary arm bike... f that. "Not very fun". I know what he really wanted to say there.
