ooOOoooo big news. Love it on a slow monday at work.

Also the MAtt Irwin sweepstakes are heating up!

Karl Alzner on waivers. Safe to say his NHL career is in the dumps and likely over.

Big moves yesterday

Sounds like Scott Darling will be on waivers...another bust of a signing resulting in a potential AHL burial.

Everyone saw this coming... except for our Vegas GM and Kyuss.

I still chuckle every time I look back to when Kyuss thought he was good enough that he should include conditional picks based on him winning a Vezina. Good times.

Wow - May have saved my season with that Macelhinney trade... did not see this coming

Imagine needing a goaltender to win.

Yeah, lost the gamble there - the stinker by Darling on Sat sealed his fate along Mac continually to win - should've held on to him for just a few more days to see how it played out.

Darling's numbers prior to last season, in case you missed:

2013-14 Milwaukee Admirals AHL 26 2.00 .933
2014-15 Chicago Blackhawks NHL 14 1.94 .936 | Playoffs 5 2.21 .936
Rockford IceHogs AHL 26 2.20 .927 |
2015-16 Chicago Blackhawks NHL 29 2.58 .915 |
2016-17 Chicago Blackhawks NHL 32 2.38 .924

and overall he has actually not looked bad this season despite the early injury and the current SV%

Carolina may be trying to unload his contract, hoping for STL or PHI to pick him up given their current situation. If they won't, Darling can still get back up with the Canes later on

Darling won't ever again be a good NHL starting goalie. Capable backup? Maybe. But he is not starting material, let alone a Vezina candidate.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Ya gonna say Darling's contract will limit him from going elsewhere; Carolina will need to buy him out if he's gonna go elsewhere or eat half his contract in a trade.

People thought dubnyk was done as an nhl starter and a barely capable backup too. However, both dubnyk and darling had very good underlying numbers for years, so you never know with darling.

Dubnyk yes. Darling no. For about a 5 year stretch there it was Price, Dubnyk, and Mason 1-2-3 in adjusted sv percentage at even strength.

[The BBKL Insider]

Any predictions on Nylander? I think he gets traded this Saturday.

Looks like a 1 year deal isn't being considered. Likely traded unless they come together last minute
