Goalie Wire – Columbus

September 29, 2006

This one wasn’t on my radar.  But Ty Conklin was waived by the Columbus Blue Jackets today.  They’ve elected to go with Fredrik Norrena as back-up to Pascal Leclaire today.
Conklin has shown brilliance at some points, but faltered more often than not.  Which resulted in Edmonton going out and getting Roloson at the trade deadline.  [...]

Goalie Wire – Chicago

September 28, 2006

While I’m still not sure if Boucher obtained the one-way contract he was looking for, I do know that Sebastian Caron was put on waivers this week from Chicago.
