Allison, i could maybe see...but(and this is in no way indicative of my feelings about him) we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot to lose Flaherty, as Milwaukee would be short a goalie, as I don't think they resigned Chris Madden.

Maybe I missed something there, but which list(s) are you putting these guys on?

I was under the impression that you could protect two goalies and I don't think Lasak is waiver fodder yet? We can protect Flaherty without risking anything if I understand correctly.

The rules of the waiver draft is as follows:


In the first round, non-playoff clubs from the 2002-03 season participate.

In the first round, no club may claim from a club in its own division.

No club may lose more than three players in the Waiver Draft, unless it chooses to offer more players. Each club's three-player loss limit will increase by the number of draft claims it makes against other clubs.

The draft will conclude when a round is completed in which no clubmakes a claim.

Looks good, but it's last years list. The rules should be the same. Isn't there a rule that every team must leave a goaltender available?

nope, but you can only have 2 protected that meet the protection requirements, thus the coyotes and detroit will have to expose 1 of their goalies

Yeah, I didn't even mean to post the team order. Just didn't pay attention. Correction made, thanks.

Even if you made a mistake, you've always been good with the stats Smokes.
