TSN is reporting that Rhett Warrener, Marcus Nilson and Anders Eriksson have been placed on waivers.
Good news, folks.
I would have preferred to see Primeau on the list rather than Nilson but that's a minor quibble. I assume that at least one of these guys will be bought out (Warrener), one will go to the farm (Eriksson?) and one will be picked up by another club (Nilson?). Warrener's hypothetical buy-out will cost the Flames about 680k, so the savings should my forecasts come to pass would be about (2.35M+1.5M+1M-0.680) 4.17M in cap space. Precious, precious cap space.
So long Rhett. The spirit was willing but the flesh was week. I hope you retire and get another position in the organization.
So long Nilson. You just weren't right after that knee injury, although I think you got a raw deal last year. Hopefully you can contribute elsewhere.
As for you, Bubba...good riddance.
EDIT - Looks like the cap will be 56.7M next year. Let the roster predictions flow!
