Icon35 Jaroslav Halak on waivers - UPD: clears, sent to AHL

A relatively big name on the waiver wire today. Who would have known that the three headed monster doesn't really work?!

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
NYI put Jaro Halak on waivers.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun
One more year left on his deal next season at $4.5-million cap hit

I rarely bang the 'we should pick him up' drum, but we should pick him up.

Locke, I'm usually on board with your posts, but in this case...

I'd consider it if BT could add a pick for Elliott. Probably need to be a 3rd or better though

Elliott's had a rough season thus far, but I'd rather roll the dice that he finds his groove.

Because the three-headed monster of last year was so much fun, and you just have to taste that forbidden fruit one more time?

Halak isn't an improvement on either goalie. Would just create a problem.

Dallas needs to figure out a way to make this happen for them. Any further word on Lehtonen? He out a while?

Actually, I think the Jets or Kings might put in a claim prior to the Greasers.

The Kings have too many goalies as it is (last time I mentioned this a Transformers/GoBots/Thundercats/Voltron discussion erupted so apologies in advance)

Yes. Lehtinen retired years ago.

We have Talbot as the clear #1.

4.5 M for Halak being a backup, pass. The Oilers do need to improve their backup goaltending but not at that price.

We have no cap space and he's not an upgrade on either goalie we have now. PASS.

Remember when Canadien fans booed Price and wanted him traded so Halak could be their number one starter? Good times.
