Some big games being played today as the next round starts for the Olympic Games. The US vs Switzerland, Czech Rep vs Finland, Canada vs Russia and Sweden vs Slovakia. Another great day of hockey.
*-> Nashville has chosen their goalie of the future. The Preds have signed Pekka Rinne to a 2 year deal worth 6.8$ mil a season. This should lead to Dan Ellis ether embracing the backup role which is unlikely or Nashville dealing him. Although the Preds could retain him for the playoffs and let him walk in the summer. A team with cap issues might be interested in Ellis such as Detroit, Philly, Ottawa or LA.
*-> Alex Auld of the Dallas Stars has been placed on waivers today. He is expected to clear but any of the above teams might take a risk on a free reliable backup for a playoff run. Ottawa and Detroit are the 2 that have come up. Ottawa has a cap issue so its unlikely they'll make a move on net when they need a d. I think a team like LA or even Nashville that could use some veteran pressence.In Nashvilles case a backup if they decide to trade Ellis. This also means that Dallas may settle with the Lehtonen, Turco deal for now. I still think they'll make deal to move Turco.
More soon.
