OHL'ers in the NHL

Some tidbits from the NHL:

Lukas Kaspar has been placed on waivers by the San Jose Sharks. News release from the Sharks. I suspect that this is just a technicality of the contract he signed this summer.

Steve Downie has been sent down to to the Phantoms by the Flyers. Read the press release here. Must admit I take a little pleasure in reading this. Always thought he was a head case.

And former Sarnia Sting Devin DiDiomete has been signed by the New York Rangers. Read the press release here.

Update: As I thought, placing Kaspar on waivers was necessary due to the way either his contract is set up or the requirements of the CBA that kick in at some point in time. Brad Staubitz is sticking with the big club so far. Here's the updated release from the Sharks.
