News from Flames camp today, the team has put D Rhett Warrener, D Andres Eriksson and LW Marcus Nilson on waivers. This making all three players in good position to be bought out unless some ridiculous team picks one of them up. This move was ultimately made to free up cap space and the Flames need all the space they can get. It will free about 4.5 million dollars for the Flames which puts them in even better position for free agency on Tuesday.
I have to start with Eriksson. THANK THE LORD HE IS GONE!!! I hated this guy throughout the whole year. Everytime he was on the ice or touched the puck, I had to close my eyes and pray for the best. I never did have a problem with Warrener's role on the team, I thought he played hard whenever he did play but his contract is just too rich for a 6th defensemen who only plays about 40 games a year. Hopefully he retires and stays with the organization in some sort of role. I dont care about Nilson, he rarely ever played but is definitely not worth the million dollars he is signed on for. So it is just a little more to spend somewhere else!
This is another good move to start the summer for Sutter, maybe he will do the same thing for Primeau too which would make it even better. The Flames will now be looking for some extra blueline depth with this extra cash and Im more than positive that a puck mover is on their way in.
