He is the best in the league, but man that's a lot of money and cap for a goalie
Saw that Duhatschek was retiring. Back in the more simple days of 2005 when the NHL was coming out of the lockout, Duhatschek wrote an article which included a snippet about Paul Kariya still remaining Colorado property.
That was incorrect, so I wrote up a civil email to Duhatschek figuring he wouldn't respond. But to my surprise he did, although he remained dug in that his "sources" told him that the Avs had Kariya's rights. I had pointed out that Kariya had already been a UFA in the summer of 2004 and Colorado couldn't give him a QO to retain his rights. Kariya signed with Nashville once free agency opened.
So while he was wrong, I did appreciate that Duhatschek took a minute to respond to a random email. [/coolstorybro]
There really isn't anyone close. He's their whole team. I suspect he'd get $13m if he hits UFA.
