Ebbett Exits

Andrew Ebbett was claimed off of waivers by the Chicago Blackhawks.

Bummer. His tenacity was a valuable asset, I thought, but he was going to be a bubble player this year thanks to the acquisition of Saku Koivu and the re-signing of Todd Marchant. I guess the bubble burst.

This is probably good news for Eric Christensen, who I'm hoping to see back on the second line tonight with Koivu and Selanne, and for Petteri Nokelainen.

The only question left in my mind is whether we'll be waiving another player any time soon. The answer may have a lot to do with Wisniewski's injuries and whether Brendan Mikkelson (or Sheldon Brookbank) can assertively step up to the plate.

Until next time...
