Murphy's Law, Sept. 29th (follow-up)

September 29, 2008 @ 1:38 PM ET

Following up on our earlier report in Murphy’s Law, Nikolai Khabibulin has been placed on waivers. TSN’s Bob McKenzie just announced it on NHL Live on XM. Teams now have 24 hours to pick him up. If a team does do so, they absorb his entire cap hit of $6.7 million. If he goes unclaimed he will then be demoted to the AHL and can be claimed at half the price on re-entry waivers. Sources are telling Murphy’s Law that the Kings, Lightning, Avalanche and Senators are interested, but none are likely to claim him now, instead waiting for re-entry waivers or a trade.
