12-17 2.73
18-21 2.57
26-14 2.35

Those were the only stats I could find on him, last three years.

If he can keep his numbers around there, he'll fit in nicely.

More news.

The National Hockey League's deadline for teams to become cap compliant is 3pm et on Wednesday, and several clubs have responded in the 11th hour with movement on the waiver wire.

The Toronto Maple Leafs continued to streamline their roster for the upcoming season, placing forward Boyd Devereaux and defenceman Staffan Kronwall on waivers.

Both players are expected to report to the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies if they clear the wire.

Devereaux, 30, spent the last two seasons with the club after signing a one year, two-way contract in 2006. He has played in 604 NHL games with Toronto, Phoenix, Detroit and Edmonton and has scored 61 goals and 168 points. Kronwall, a ninth-round selection by the Leafs in 2002, has 52 NHL games under his belt with a minus-5 rating.

The Vsncouver Canucks also made a couple of players available in forwards Matt Pettinger and Jason Krog.

Krog, a former Hobey Baker award winner, signed as an unrestricted free agent in July. He had a goal and an assist in five pre-season games. Pettinger, acquired last February for Matt Cooke, tallied six points in 20 games last season with the Canucks.

With rookie Blake Wheeler making the club, the Boston Bruins placed forwards Peter Schaefer on the wire.

Schaefer, 31, recorded nine goals and 26 points in 63 games for the Bruins last season. In eight NHL seasons, he has 98 goals and 259 points in 556 career games.

Other notable names available on the waiver wire are San Jose Sharks defenceman Kyle McLaren and Aaron Downey of the Detroit Red Wings.

The Chicago Blackhawks made a move, reclaiming Joakim Lindstrom from the Anaheim Ducks.

Well that's another defence down, it's too bad Kronwall doesn't play like his brother. I'm no sure about waiving Devereaux, he seemed like a good energy player.

The Capitals seem like a sexy pick to come out of the Eastern Conference this year. I like their style....but Theodore as their goalie....ouch.

I am happy that Wheeler made the Bruins club. He deserved the spot for being of the best forwards in training camp. It looks like he will play on the left wing on the 3rd line.

**InYourFace** · 10-07-2008, 11:30 PM

Id be pretty happy if Jason Krog made a return to Anaheim, since he was on the losing Ducks in 03.

I am really loving the Ducks team this year, Scott Niedermayer is once again captain of the Anaheim Ducks & Pronger & Getzlaf will be the alternates for this year, this year every will be healthy & Scott & Teemu will be playing a full season & the Ducks didnt really lose anyone but Buertuzzi & Weight, & i feel Bertuzzi has been replaced by Ryan Carter & Weight has been replaced by Brendan Morrison, i think Morrison is really an upgrade from Weight considering Weight is getting pretty old, the only thing i didnt like was the Ducks sending Bobby Ryan down to Portland, i just dont get why they wont keep him up, they did it for Getz & Perry & look how they turned out, but hopefully they will come to there senses & bring him up full time, but i cant wait till Thursday, first game of the season, Ducks vs Sharks

In my money league I traded Patrick Sharp for Zach Parise, pretty even trade.

I can't believe it's already hockey season. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the best time of the sports year. Baseball playoffs, football and hockey season. It doesn't get any better.

Parise won't get as many PIM but other than that pretty balanced. Hopefully you can win the trade with +/- or something.

St Faint · 10-08-2008, 06:49 PM

I don't know if there will be a clear "winner" in the trade, it probably won't have a huge impact, made it basically cause the other guy is a Hawks fan and he wouldnt give me Vanek. I think I could win it on powerplay points, Rolston comin over with his big shots, and Im hopin the younger guys on the Hawks get more ice time, and Havlat could also step up.

**JM Nash** · 10-08-2008, 06:59 PM

Yeah, I just try to fill a void when making a trade, instead of just making one for the hell of it. Like if I think I'm going to be crappy in PIM I'll trade someone who may get more points for someone with less PIM. Doing stuff like this works well in Head to head as you're only ever facing one guy, instead of going against 11 other teams each day.
