Leading up to the 2 p.m. deadline, there was a lot of belief that one of the Toronto Maple Leafs, or Calgary Flames were going to put a claim in on DiPietro.
That was before Bussi was claimed by the Canes and I also never said that. I had a source tell me «keep an eye on the Hurricanes» but never that they were «monitoring closely»
To many's surprise, this did not happen, as the Maple Leafs ended up claiming a different goaltender on waivers.
Many believed that DiPietro was long gone once he was placed on the waiver wire, but the Bruins somehow managed to get away with one.
DiPietro signed a two-year contract with the Boston Bruins earlier in the off-season, and may get a chance later in the season to show what he is about.
