  1. It appears that Moore was claimed, and Butler cleared waivers.

    We wish Dominic the best with whoever claimed him, he was a late signing in the summer, but was sadly outperformed, and the salary cap constraints caused the move.

    ASSIGN: Phoenix assigns D Chris Butler to Portland.

    (#1 D in minors)

    Just as a heads up, both players were claimed, haven't gotten to updates yet today, but will post asap.

  2. Well, that didn't take long...

    Brodeur says Schneider 'is in the net now to stay'

    New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur told reporters Wednesday that Cory Schneider will likely assume the role as the team's No. 1 for the foreseeable future.

    After practice Wednesday, Devils coach Peter DeBoer announced that Schneider, 27, would make his third straight start for the Devils on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks at Prudential Center.

    Brodeur told Rich Chere of The (Newark) Star-Ledger that Schneider "is in the net now to stay."

    "I don't see that's going to change any time soon," Brodeur told Chere. "I'll be ready if it does. We have to try and win some games somehow. This is what [DeBoer] feels is the best opportunity to be successful, having him in the net. That's fine. If we win, everybody is happy. Even though I don't play, it's more enjoyable to be around."

    Though many around the organization figured this decision would come at some point, it is a bit surprising that it is happening so soon. The Devils have struggled with a 1-5-3 mark through the opening nine games.

    Brodeur, 41, who has served as the Devils' No. 1 goalie the past 20 seasons, is 0-2-2 with a 3.40 goals-against average and .865 save percentage. Schneider, who posted his first shutout in a Devils jersey Saturday in a 4-0 win against the New York Rangers, is 1-3-1 with a 2.21 goals-against average and .917 save percentage.

    "It's never easy," DeBoer said. "We've got two very good goalies at different points in their careers. One is the greatest goalie of all time and the other guy is a legitimate starter in this League. That situation is never easy.

    "I think both guys have handled it very professionally so far. It hasn't been an issue."

    Schneider, who was acquired in a trade with the Canucks on June 30 at the 2013 NHL Draft, made a career-high 33 appearances with Vancouver in 2011-12, finishing with career bests in victories (20), goals-against average (1.96) and save percentage (.937).

    Brodeur holds NHL career goalie records for games played (1,224), victories (669), shutouts (121) and minutes played (72,033).

    "Over the last three years, I haven't played as many games," Brodeur said. "It's somewhat of a transition, but definitely it's not fun. You don't play hockey, especially at the age I am, to just sit on the bench and hang out. It was fun [in practice on Wednesday]. I had a blast. But ask me that in two months. I don't know if I'll say the same thing."

  3. TRADE: The Detroit Red Wings have made a trade with the Los Angeles Kings.

    To DET:

    Mark Fraser

    Andreas Athanasiou

    OTT 2015 3rd Round Draft Selection

    To LA:

    Alex Stalock

    (As this trade was submitted before 9:30am on the 21st, Stalock is not on waivers.)

  4. WAIVERS: The St. Louis Blues have claimed Rostislav Olesz off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets.

    (As STL currently has no active roster spot for Olesz, he will be automatically placed on waivers at 11:00pm Oct.22nd if a roster spot is not cleared for him by then, or if STL places Olesz on waivers before then)

  5. WAIVERS: The Detroit Red Wings have claimed Alex Stalock off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers.

    (As DET currently has no active roster spot for Stalock, he will be automatically placed on waivers at 9:30am Oct.21st if a roster spot is not cleared for him by then, or if DET places Stalock on waivers before then)

    A reminder, as I wasn't here for an official waivers post. Alex Stalock is on waivers until 9:30am tomorrow morning.

  6. WAIVERS: The Detroit Red Wings have claimed Alex Stalock off waivers from the Edmonton Oilers.

    (As DET currently has no active roster spot for Stalock, he will be automatically placed on waivers at 9:30am Oct.21st if a roster spot is not cleared for him by then, or if DET places Stalock on waivers before then)

  7. Crosby - goal, ppa, assist = 10 points

    Eberle - goal, assist, +3 = 12 points

    Weber - ppg, +1, 2 PIMs = 10 points

    Niederreiter - 2 PIMs = 2 points

    Gallagher - goal, +1 = 5 points

    Loktionov - gwg, +1, 2 PIMs = 9 points

    Schneider - win, shutout = 20 points

    Olesz - assist, +1 = 5 points

    Total: 73 points

    One of my best nights on the year so far, which bodes well because a lot of players were quiet.

    Of my 7 active defencemen, only 3 are getting regular playing time... blah... I might be looking to make some moves to bring in defence.
