Thread: Sharks place Niittymaki on waivers

TSN

Looks like they are opening up some cap space...possibly need to d-man to replace Burns. Greiss's cap hit is about $1.4M less than Niittymaki. Also, Niittymaki will be a UFA this off-season.

It'll be interesting to see if any team grabs him.

Hope he likes Ohio.

Isle's always need more goalies right?

Do they need an Assistant GM?

Niittymaki DID save their ass in the playoffs last season.

Why? afterall, they've got DePietro signed to that nice long contract j/k

Eh, he'll still be a Shark, he'll just now be a Worcester Shark.

Funny that the Sharks forgot to mention it to him.

Antero Niittymaki, waived by Sharks:

"I'm not the hottest name in market and my salary isn't on my side either. $2 million is big money for someone who hasn't played much."
