Mike Condon
Player News
Tampa Bay has called up Mike Condon from Charlotte of the AHL.
Condon has spent time with Syracuse, which is Tampa Bay's minor-league affiliate, as well as Charlotte and Orlando of the ECHL this season. It's unclear at this time what prompted this transaction.
As expected, Tampa Bay placed Condon on waivers Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Condon was never considered a serious contender for a spot on the Lightning's 23-man roster, so this move was expected. In the likely event that he goes unclaimed, the 29-year-old netminder will head to AHL Syracuse, where he'll remain for most, if not all of the 2019-20 campaign.
Condon (hip), along with Louis Domingue, will be placed on waivers if the Lightning can't find trade partners prior to Sept. 20, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports. It's not all bad news for Condon, as he appears to have recovered from his hip issue, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.
Bringing in Condon via trade was nothing more than a salary dump for the Lightning and he was never going to get the chance to play in Tampa Bay. The netminder's disastrous 2018-19 campaign will make a trade nearly impossible, not to mention his $3 million cap hit. Condon will likely have to settle for some time in the minors proving he's rediscovered his game before a team takes a crack at him.
Condon (hip) hopes to return for training camp in the fall after a lost campaign.
The last time most fantasy owners saw Condon was during a disastrous game in Arizona, after which he was demoted to AHL Belleville and took the year off from game action to deal with a hip inflammation. If he's even close to the player he was before this season, he could be a deep sleeper next season.
