Oh, Dany Boy, The Pipes, the Pipes are Clanging
Netminder Dany Sabourin was waived by the Pens yesterday when the team cut their roster to the league limit of 23.
Sabourin only played one game with the Penguins, but was the at the top of his game in the AHL with Wilkes-Barre.
Shero lost the gamble on this one. He would have been better off exposing Jocelyn Thibault to the waivers wire - no team would have taken him as a backup with his large contract.
No chance of this turning into another Canuck blunder like the Markus Naslund trade, but in time Sabourin would have made an excellent backup in the short term.
Good thing the Pens kept J.S. Aubin and Sebastien Caron. Oh yeah, they're gone already.
Thibault has exactly SIX wins since October 2003, only ONE with Pittsburgh. By subtracting $12,500 (Sabourin's pro-rated, entry-level contract) Craig Patrick spent about $1.4 million for Thibault's ONE victory.
T-boned again.
