Vegas Places Pickard on Waivers, Leafs Do the Same with Marincin



Marincin doesn’t surprise me, but Pickard does. I guess he has no market value and they view Subban as an upgrade over Pickard as the back up.

  1. Pickard was in the paper " guys are always nipping at your heels. I welcome it, yadda yadda" He clearly didn't see it coming. I couldn't see the games. They are not showing them on Cox. Which I have. Ok, I got the hockey but it sucks, Montana can see the games and I can't

  2. Colorado cannot claim Pickard because of the expansion rules (no re-acquisitions until January). I could see Arizona taking a stab at Pickard because I believe Pickard is an upgrade over Dominigue. Calgary could also potentially see Pickard as an upgrade on Lack too and claim him. Only thing with Calgary is that they have a ton of goalies in the minors and another would probably clog the system too much. Likelihood is that Pickard doesn't get claimed and remains in the LV system.

  3. They're trying to tank obviously. If he sucks they have a better chance in the lottery. And if they can groom subban (former 1st round pick) into a decent goalie they can trade him based on his pedigree and get more future assets. Or if he turns out to be real good he'll be the heir to fleury's thrown.

  4. I thought Pickard was decent last year, yes he was on aweful team but postionally he looked sound

  5. I'd like to see Pickard succeed at the NHL level and I thought he was pretty good on a very bad Avs team. I saw him play for the Seattle Thunderbirds in 2009, so it was cool seeing him play in the NHL too.

  6. Maybe they're not trying to upgrade? Dahlin is looking good, I don't blame Vegas if they tank
