Because Carter Hart got clipped, I was intrigued about maybe pitching an extra goalie we had to help keep the price down on Scott Walker. (Not a very popular thought around here as I came to find out)
So something is happening and I do not see a transaction from the Phantoms yet.
Looks like a move to get cap space & add a goalie. I don't see anyone that capable from the Phantoms.
Smells like a trade about to go down.
Outside of bringing in a true starter (which, considering the unknowns around Hart's legal issues, is probably a good idea), I suspect they want to give Fedotov or Sandstrom a shot. And, if they were making a big move for a goalie, I suspect they'd be sending Petersen's salary the other way. It's possible they were just getting the waivers issue out of the way for a trade, but it's equally possible they're just giving themselves the potential flexibility in case they need it, but have nothing imminent (or even anything that will go through). They might not even be sending Petersen down. We've seen similar moves approaching the deadline in years past.
