The Dallas Stars will probably have a two-headed goalie monster next season, but the brief off-season foray into a three-headed one is no more. General manager Jim Nill promised the move would come this week, and indeed, the Stars have made a definitive move to address the goalie situation.
First reported by the venerable Mike Heika, the Stars are going to place Antti Niemi on waivers with the intention of buying out his contract if there are no takers. He has one year left on a deal with a cap hit of $4.5 million per season.
