Pearce, 25, has split time between Grand Rapids and Toledo (ECHL). He is 5-3-1, with a 3.00 goals-against average and .904 save percentage with the Griffins and 3-4-1, with a 4.13 GAA and .883 save percentage with Toledo.

So if he improved his gaa by 1.13, and his save percentage by .021... i wonder how he'd fair as an NHL goalie. he is improved at each level :yowza:

assuming that trend holds true, he'd have a gaa in the NHL of 1.87 and a s% of .925 :clap:

So if we don't get Nabakov, Pearce and MacDonald are basically going to be rotated every 10 games or 30 days so neither has to go through waivers? Talk about a goalie rotation.

They really need to make a NHL CBA for dummies handbook.

Even the guys at TSN screw it up once in a while.

It's actually because McDonald was called up on Emergency Basis due to Osgood's injury. McDonald is not waiver exempt where as Pearce is. If Nabokov were to make it through waivers and added to the Wings' roster they would now have two healthy goaltenders (Howard and Nabokov) and be sending McDonald to GR and in order for that to happen he would then have to pass through waivers and could be claimed.

By sending him down now he does not have to go through waivers. By having Pearce on the roster today (and tomorrow) if Nabokov is added to the roster they can send Pearce back to Toledo free from the waiver wire and thus lose no one.

Whew! Kenny deserves every penny he makes.

i believe pearce is exempt from waivers, so he can stay up.

Yep. Dunno if he will, though.

is this a salary cap move?

no if nabby ends up with detroit then pearce will be sent down and will not have to clear waivers since its his second pro season, if they left jmac up and nabby ended up with detroit then sendin jmac to minors meant he had to clear waivers and possibly losing him. if nabby gets claimed by another team then detroit brings jmac up and sends pearce down and its back to normal until ozzie gets back
