TSN.ca reports that in a half hour, Ilya Bryzgalov is going on waivers. He carries a manageable contract ($1.0 million this year, $1.363 million next year), is young (27), and has a sturdy record behind Jean -Sebastien Giguere in Anaheim.
If the Caps are going to shake up the team, goaltending hasn't been their problem, but...
edit...the figures in Bryzgalov's contract appear to cover the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons (the original TSN story indicated otherwise, since corrected), making him a UFA after this year, but...
Thanks to PuckMan93 on The Official for the directions to this story.
I think Johnson is okay but Ilya Bryzgalov is better...I think the Caps should go for it.
ReplyDeleteI'd be for claiming him and then trading him for, well, something else obviously.
ReplyDeleteI was suprised that Washington didn't take a flyer on Bryz. Is there somebody better in the pipeline should Kolzig/Johnson not be in the cards for next year?
ReplyDeleteAnother year out of the playoffs will Olie even be around next year?
Inquiring minds want to know.
