WOW! Jackets put Todd Marchant on waivers!!!

I can't remember if he's a winger or a centre (though a simple internet search would easily solve that mystery), but I've always liked Marchant ever since his days on the Oilers. I guess he's a little pricey but with the injuries we have at present, adding a guy like this may not be a bad idea. He adds some depth to the team, allows us to move Dandenault back to defense so Streit can be scratched, and drops Dagenais off the roster. Overall not necessarily a bad thing. Moreover, he could always be unloaded later if his contract becomes too costly. But I actually think he could be a useful addition to the 2nd line (buh-bye Ribeiro).

I agree, AWOL. I'm fully not expecting Gainey to make this move, because it still seems very improbable, but I would love to see him on our team. He's quite the player, and picking him up without having to trade anyone sounds good to me.

Wow, it's crazy to see Fedorov playing for such a non-entity like Columbus, a team I think shouldn't even exist.

He was so great to watch at his peak in Detroit. What a shame

I like how in the New NHL a team like Columbus can get a player like Federov. It's the same thing seeing Kariya on Nashville. It's nice that the teams are more even than they have been in past years.

I wouldn't take Marchant for the simple fact that he eats up the rest of our cap space, which i want to use on a dman. I think in the second half once most of a player's salary has already been paid there might be some interesting Dmen available for the stretch run.
