Chicago sheds more

[puckhead]

I guess Marty Reasoner was too expensive a take-back in the Buffy deal.
Reasoner to Florida, Jeffrey Taffe coming back.

(Reasoner $1.15m, Taffe $0.55m)

not quite there, Bowman!

I saw some interesting numbers on Niemi that will really make this a case to watch.
He most definitely stole some games in the playoffs.... that's what people seem to be building his value on... however:

- His .912 postseason save percentage tied Carey Price for 19th in the league.
- In eight of 22 postseason games, Niemi allowed at least four goals.

I hope he gets a high award, just so it fucks with Chicago's self inflicted payroll a bit more.
Bit there is a decent argument that they won in spite of him at times.
