A few teams will make a number of decisions this week
Sportsnet: Elliote Friedman on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – Six Seeven for Mason Mctavish Episode, about how it will probably be an interesting week on the keeper Waiver thread. There are some goalkeepers who can soon be placed remotely, and if they can be claimed.

“I think Kyle will be one of the more interesting weeks on the exemption wire this week to see which goalkeepers are coming and when. Columbus spent Fedotov. I always thought that was a man who would be released. I mean, teams could have had him last summer if they wanted him, and I didn’t surprise it.
But you know, Toronto has a situation with Joseph Woll, and you know, I want to respect his privacy. The only thing I will say about it is that I just don’t think anyone knows what the timeline is now. So they bring Reimer to a PTO. I assume that he will play one of the two games against Detroit this week, and then you know, we will see what they decide to do.

But there are at least two goalkeepers who are going at a distance this week. Who can go at a distance this week. I should not say that you never know what will happen. I am really curious to see. Are they going on? Are they traded in advance? Try to keep their teams three goalkeepers? Do their teams, well, one of them is not going to move someone else, but those goalkeepers are Michael Dipietro and Clay Stevenson. Dipietro in Boston and Stevenson is in Washington.
Now the Bruins Dipietro has signed for a two -year -old deal, and I think that is one of the things they heads, that second year is some teams. But you know, at the moment the Bruins of course (Jeremy) have Swayman, and they have (Joonas) Korpisalo. So we will see what they do with Dipietro, or what they do in the net.
And of course the capitals Logan Thompson and Charlie Lindgren, who were excellent for them last year. But Clay Stevenson is a really interesting player. He is, they sign him for three years. He has two left. You know, last year his small salary was two -way. The next two years it is $ 775,000, and I bet that the capitals hope that may perhaps put some teams off, but I am not convinced that it will do that.
I will say that when Clay Stevenson from the university signed with Washington, another team that really liked him, were the Rangers. Like, the Rangers were disappointed that he did not sign there. So I think Washington knows it will be difficult to sneak him through.
NHL rumors: Oilers, Devils, and who would have a chance of Sidney Crosby?
And so I look at what Toronto is going to do. What will some of these other teams do? And I could see the Bruins and the capitals in particular, be a bit nervous about these two boys and try to find out, how do we protect them? Are we doing something? I am just, are we, are we just, are we going to wear three or are we just going to resign the fact that we have to take our chances?
Now, I know last week, Connor Ingram, he knew. And with Ingram, and I don’t want to make a light out of this. I root for conor ingram. I want him to do it extremely well, but he has just not always been available in recent years, and I think that some teams kept away. I hope he goes to the American Hockey League if he is not traded, and he starts a great start and intrigues some teams. I hope it works for him. But I was not surprised by the number he was not claimed this time.
Dipietro and Stevenson, I don’t doubt that teams will look hard at the two boys.
Friedman: “Also Kyle. I wanted to mention, people were surprised that Edmonton Ingram did not take. What did we learn when we were in Edmonton about Calvin Pickard?”
Bukaukas: “He is perhaps the most popular man in that room.”
NHL rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers
Friedman: “Yes, hugely popular teammate. He is a million. Now boys like Dipietro and Stevenson would of course be less. But also Pickard, when he played, he got W’s for the oilers.
And I could see them look at the salary for Ingram and say no. But the way the players for a man, talk about, talk about Pickard. I would be curious to see if the oilers would be, would like to take him away. ‘
Bukauskas: “Oh, yes, I think the answer is no, there.”
Friedman: “And if you believe in a man like Stevenson or Dipietro, you have to look at it. But I was very intrigued by what those guys said about him. And the only reason I would even wonder is that these guys make less than him. But it is very, very clear that he is a huge popular player in that room.
Anyway, I think this week teams will be curious to see what teams like, what, what, what the Bruins do and do the capitals. “
Bukauskas: “Yes, should also indicate if the oilers have devoted a combined $ 3.6 million of their salary cap to their network.”
NHL Rumors: Maple Leafs, Panthers, Kuznetsov, Fleury and Eichel
Friedman: “And they think a lot about that, a lot.”
Bukauskas: “It is not like the goal convening position that now weighs their cap -flexibility.”
