Day: February 11, 2010

Multiple sources today – including Bob McKenzie on Twitter – report the Rangers have placed Donald Brashear on waivers. Not that anyone should get too excited just yet. The 38 year old veteran is likely to remain unclaimed and stay with the team through the rest of this season and next.

At issue, a two year contract for $1.4 million per season, signed when the player was already past the age of 35. That means no matter where – or even if – Brashear plays next season, he will count against the Cap. Not good news for a team that already has a bunch of bad contracts on the books.
