Jackpot - Schadenfreude revisited


Michael Grabner has been claimed off waivers by the New York Islanders!
Not sure that this is the Jackpot that a claim by the Pens and time with Sid or Malkin might have been, but it sure beats Rochester.

The Florida Panthers placed Grabner on waivers with the intention of sending him to the AHL. This is an unfortunate loss for the Panthers, but it's great news for Grabner, who is now projected to start the season in the NHL. Grabner was selected with the 14th overall pick of the 2006 NHL entry draft. He had five goals and 11 points in 20 games with the Vancouver Canucks last season.

Isn't being waived by the Panthers only to be claimed by the Islanders going from the frying pan to the fire?

Sweet picture though. Totally sweet.

I like the potential of him with Tavares more than him with Nylander, and yes, it is a sweet picture.
