I thought Budaj filled in admirably, having one or two really great games. I'm quite happy with him as backup.

Multiple teams considering options on both. LA, STL, TOR, FLA among those kicking tires on Redden, ANA and CAR among those considering Gomez

No guarantees but Wade Redden may agree to terms with an NHL team as early as tonight. Gomez not likely tonight but in next day or so.
Nonis is picking up right where Burke left off, it seems.
How so? Lombardi? Seems like he's actually acquiring picks.

Honestly the Wild lack quality depth.Just so that people take everything that happens at the WJC with a grain of salt....Dumba was cut as he was clearly not good enough for the tournament. And he will start the year with the Wild.
Cue *Dragnet*
So it's all up to Anaheim & San Jose? What the hell is San Jose brass thinking?
I would say it's also a good idea to take another grain of salt when you see a team of rusty locked out NHLers keep their junior top-10 pick who played all year around for at least a 5-game confidence-building cameo.Just so that people take everything that happens at the WJC with a grain of salt....Dumba was cut as he was clearly not good enough for the tournament.

Dumba always looks good in stretches, and was actually my favourite D at the time of the draft last year, but I think the Wild are bonkers if they plan on giving him more than a token cup of coffee right now. He could definitely use a little confidence booster, though, with his poor WHL season and the failure to make Team Canada, it's a smart gesture. They've got a lot invested in the pick. So it's a reasonable move for them all the same.
The Toronto Maple Leafs no longer seem like a probable trading partner for Roberto Luongo.
The Canucks and Maple Leafs were reportedly working on a proposal that involved Nazem Kadri, Tyler Bozak, and a second round pick at one point. However, Toronto went out of its way to make room on the roster for Kadri by trading Matthew Lombardi and waiving Tim Connolly. New Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis might also recently stated "I’m not going to give up youth for older players." It seems like Toronto is committed to a youth movement that doesn't mesh well with the concept of training some of their young talent for a 33-year-old goaltender.
Word on the street is that Tim Connolly has been picked up on waivers by guess who??? The Islanders who are building a team through waivers.
Lucky break for the Leafs if true, Isles take on the contract which frees up money for the Leafs + they don't use the buyout
