Goalie Yann Danis has cleared waivers and has been assigned to the AHL's #OKCBarons
Maybe Roy is going down to Stockton too? Either that or they plan to roll 3 goalies. We could use Hovinen next year by the way things are looking so far.
I'm thinking that we might swing a minor league deal and have Danis loaned to another AHL team. Roy and the Hoivinen need time to develop as does Bunz in Stockton. If we believe in these kids IMO it's the right thing to do.
Do you really want to get rid of your top AHL goalie though? Wonder if it's better to allow Hoivinen to go to Europe to close the year out.

I think it is a test of what lies ahead... Dubnyk for 62 games next year with Roy and Hovinen splitting the remaining for a contract in 2015... if nothing else changes down in the 'A' then maybe it is Danis as starter (half of schedule) and Hovinen Roy splitting the rest...
Super. We now have two former NHL mainstay d-men in OKC who are better than three of our four bottom pairing NHLers at the moment. Ugh.
There's a reason that neither of those guys got a sniff at the NHL level in the off-seasosn (or after the lockout). Just like Cheechoo, they are done at the elite level.

So are you the only one who hasn't seen the NHL's promo with Malkin dangling Clark all the way to OKC? Like Spawn said, they aren't NHLers anymore, or in Randy Jones' case never was.

Jones has played 365 regular season games in the NHl and 34 playoff games. THis makes it a little tough to say that the guy was never an NHL defenseman.

I constantly mocked Jones years ago (when he played for the Kings). Thought he shouldn't be in the NHL - much like Cam Barker. Probably had a few good years in his prime but he's done.
How's Tyrvainen been? Always thought because of his style he'd have a good chance at making this team. Any chance he could be used for a 6-8 minute a night callup?
