Yeah it surprised me as well. I don't think he was worth 2.75 mil though. |

I should stop posting news so these threads people start are actually useful. Peep the NHL FA thread, boys. |

My bad. I stopped looking at the FA thread once it reached about 10 pages, it was a pain to keep scrolling through it. |

I'm a little surprised that they walked away from this, but it's not like they had much choice in the matter with their cap problems. They're still almost $2M over. |

Soft market for goalies this year too...I wonder what happens with him. Tough break though to be sure. |

I doubt it to be honest; the Flyers have 22 players on their roster and 375K in cap space; I think they have their roster pretty well set. I think Ideal landing spots for Niemi are, Washington, NYI (depending on DiPietro's Health), and possibly Tampa. I also notice that only 1 team is below the cap floor right now, that's Colorado, and they may be interested in taking on some quality players, with higher salaries; given their 20+M in cap space at the moment. |

We traded him for a 2nd round pick, which was used to pick up Raffi Torres again at the deadline... |

I really like this signing for the Hawks, Niemi is definitely not worth 2.75 mil per year no matter if he has won a cup or not. |
