Around The NHL
Detroit Hockey Now: The Red Wings youth movement is alive and well. Both Justin Holl and Erik Gustafsson were placed on waivers on Sunday. This opens a potential opening night roster spot for not one, or two, but THREE rookies.
Florida Hockey Now: The Panthers tried to sneak their third-string goalie through waivers a day before the waiver wire storm. But they failed, as Carolina got their hands on him.
Boston Hockey Now: The Bruins placed, who is likely the most notable goalie on waivers. Will he get claimed?
New Jersey Hockey Now: The Devils might also lose a goalie on waivers today. Someone they hope can sneak through.
Philadelphia Hockey Now: The Flyers cleared themselves of using LTIR by trading Ryan Ellis’ contract to the San Jose Sharks.
Chicago Hockey Now: Remember how it was reported a few weeks ago that Matt Gryzelcyk rejected a one year, $1 million offer from a Western Conference team? I still kind of feel like Colorado was that team. Anyway, he’s finally under contract, and he had to take that same money and term with the Blackhawks.
