Love Khudobin, he is likely happy to be coming back after a rough stint in Anaheim.

So they keep Subban in PRO to avoid the expansion draft next year and Liles is a N°6/7? Would that work given his status?

Liles as a 7 on short money isn't a big deal - term & $ will be interesting for both.

Probably just a year or two deal until one of the kids are ready to take over the backup job?

 

[Hogan20]

Khudobin is 2 years, $1.2 million average annual value

 

[Mione134]

Let him and Subban battle it out.

 

[Bruinator]

Love this signing, but is this the Bruins saying they f'd up with their 1st round selection of Subban?

I hated that pick but he could still turn out. This way you can protect him (Subban) from the expansion draft but right now he likely wouldn't get picked.

Subban needs more time in Providence and we need a competent backup.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Two years means Khudobin can be exposed to the draft.

 

[CashMash]

I like it.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Two years means Khudobin can be exposed to the draft.

I think we'll survive if Khudobin gets selected in the expansion draft.

Also I LOVE this signing, need a backup who can play 15-20 gms

Yes it does. Good strategy, IMO.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Yes it does. Good strategy, IMO.

I agree. He was a likable player as well. Exciting to watch, even.

 

[Hali33]

I love this move. Smart.

 

[DKH]

Love Khudobin, he is likely happy to be coming back after a rough stint in Anaheim.

Yah he was great here could be a steal

 

[xgallantx]

Didn't like at first, but good expansion strategy.

 

[Dellstrom]

Good move, good strategy. He played terrific here, hopefully he can take some pressure off Rask again. He was a funny guy and pretty popular in the room, IIRC

 

[Gee Wally]

It also gives them a safety valve when Rask's NMC disappears at the end of this coming season...................

Hey, you never know.

 

[smithformeragent]

I'm a fan.

Subban needs more time in Providence and we need a competent backup.

Do we protect him though?? I thought he will be exposed regardless because he has been a pro for 3 years

 

[Blowfish]

Like him but I'm ready for Subban...My thinks he's going to be traded. Nashville

 

[BsEuphoria]

I missed Dobby, like the signing.

 

[Krupp]

I liked Khudobin as a backup years ago when he was first here. I was a bit disappointed when he went to Carolina to play. Glad to have him back.

Dunno if he's gonna play as well as he did before, but I'd be thrilled if he does.

 

[missingchicklet]

I hated to see him go. Such a fun goalie to watch. I really like this signing. Smart for a variety of reasons.

 

[GloveSave1]

Haha. Wow...I was just thinking a while back I'd love to have this guy back. Didn't think bringing him back would take too much effort.

Nice. A pleasant surprise.

Expansion draft wise...worth a shot, but he's going to have to kick butt for that to happen...bet Vegas can find 2 better...
