Ducks give Bryzgalov the boot Ducks give Bryzgalov the boot from seestyle's blog

Ilya Bryzgalovs time in the NHL may be at an end.Signed to a 2.88 million-dollar deal earlier this season, Bryzgalov was supposed to provide some insurance for Anaheim. He didnt, posting a Clark Harris Jersey lousy .882 even-strength save percentage in eight games (six starts).MORE: | His save chart isnt doing him Malik Jefferson Jersey any favors either:So it's no surprise the 34-year-old goalie found himself on waivers. Also not shocking: he went unclaimed.Update: Bryzgalov cleared waivers. Exec VP/GM Bob Murray will discu s his status with Bryzgalovs camp today to determine next steps. Anaheim Ducks (@AnaheimDucks) While his deal isnt prohibitive his cap hit is a shade under $2 million its hard to imagine Bryzgalov finding any work if he and the Ducks decide to part ways. His market wasnt exactly hot before, and this sample, small as it is, Ryan Glasgow Jersey does him no favors.More than likely, the veteran would be best served heading to the minors, collecting his paycheck and going about his busine s with hopes a nice stint in the AHL gets him a chance next year. Or Preston Brown Jersey that injury strikes both Frederik Andersen and John Gibson after the trade deadline, forcing the Ducks to go with the devil they know, rather than some unknown off the street Hardy Nickerson Jersey option.Of course, the Ducks may have seen enough to just cut bait entirely.Byrzs replacement for now will be Jason LaBarbera. The veteran backup has posted a .917 save percentage in all situations with Norfolk this year. Hell be there to back up Gibson until Andersen returns from his head/neck injury.
