Michael Dipietro on exemptions can interest the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames
James Murphy from RG Media: The Boston Bruins yesterday put goalkeeper Michael Dipietro at bay, and a source would be surprised if he was not claimed.
“It would surprise me if he makes it. I had conversations with managers, and the feeling is that teams that still need backups would like to make him exemptions because they think he can actually be a 1B, not just a backup.”
The source adds that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames have shown some interest in the past. The Carolina Hurricanes could be another team (they claimed that Brandon Bussi abandoning distance statements after the article was written). The Leafs have James Reimer on a PTO and there is uncertainty with the status of Joseph Woll.
Dipietro drew a two-year-old deal for $ 812,500 cap hit.

Potential areas of need for the Edmonton Oilers and some options
Allan Mitchell of athletics: Possible points for attention for the Edmonton Oilers that are on their way, are goal congregation, third right and third line center.
Cap reasons are the reason why the Oilers winger Connor Brown lost, and they don’t have many two-way wing options. Vancouver Canucks Nils Hoglander would be a nice fit if money and term were no problem (Hoglander is now 8-10 weeks off with an injury). They will probably be looking for a rental option at the Trade Deadline.
Adam Henrique on 3C struggled this preseason. There is time for him to turn it around. The oilers are not linked to Evgeny Kuznetsov.
The oilers should move the salary in almost every movement, but it is not easy with nine players with NMCs or NTCs. The oilers do not have many options to send the Canucks away for Hoglander ($ 3 million). Pittsburgh Penguins Philip Tomasino is perhaps a good, cheaper option, but the oilers may not think that his skills meet their needs.
Defenseman Alec Regula’s pre -season can make right -handed Ty Emberson or Troy Stecher available.
NHL Rumors: New Jersey Devils, Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche
If the oilers want to upgrade on the net, every deal would probably retain Stuart Skinner, who has a good contract and has a lot of playoff experience for his age.
