Domi, Legace, Roloson, and Markkanen

Rumours surfaced late last night that say Tie Domi will be bought out by the Toronto Maple Leafs. As Steve Simmons pointed out earlier this week, it would cost the Leafs 1.25 million dollars to keep Domi, or 1.26 million to buy him out and bring in a player making 450,000. So it comes down to, do you want Williams or Domi on the ice for you? Should be interesting. Teams have between the 15th and 30th to buy players out.

Legace will not be back with Detroit next season as Detroit GM Ken Holland has told him he will not be offered a contract prior to July 1st. Giguere and Raycroft are two possible replacements in Detroit, but all depends on whether or not Detroit retains Shanny or Lidstrom, or both.

Dwayne Roloson may not be done for the entire series as first thought. Though he couldn't return until at least game 6, there is talk that if the Oilers make it that far, he may be able to return.

Finally, Markkanen is 99% sure to get the start tonight. Hopefully the team in front of his shows up tonight, because I'm not too sure where they were on Wednesday
