The Anaheim Ducks have put goalie Ilya Bryzgalov on waivers, and the question is who will land him. Expect both Toronto and Pittsburgh not to waste any time claiming the Russian. A while back I was hoping for Ken Holland to make a move to get Bryzgalov to Detroit, but, considering the stellar performance of Chris Osgood so far I doubt the Red Wings will get involved in this. I still think the Wings should have traded for Bryzgalov instead of what turned out to be a goalie-tandem with Osgood and a tired-looking Hasek.
The Phoenix Coyotes might be another team interested in the Ducks backup, and if so, their claim will be favored because of their poor results last season. There are probably a few more teams out there willing to take on the 27-year old, but I have a feeling he will end up in Pittsburgh. They sure need him.

Here's an idea. Boston picks him up and trades Thomas (while he's still hot) along with Murray (if anyone wants his $4m cap hit) for some much-needed offensive help. It'd be high-time for such a move seeing how Bergy's probably done for the year now.
Ultimately, this will sustain the Bruins' goaltending situation the rest of the season whilst waiting for Rask to make the jump from Providence to the big league.
Looks like the Desert Dogs just snagged him!
