Yzer is turning into a train wreck.

 

[NoelVilla]

The Yzerplan sucks

 

[Pavels Dog]

Decent depth option.

 

[Go Wings]

Some of you are hilarious. Signing a goalie that had 27 wins and .913% to a 2.5 million dollar deal is a bad move?

 

[Look Up]

Puckdoku fans cheering with this one.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Talbot is the classic regular season goalie who is useless in the playoffs because his tendencies are so easily exploitable. In that sense it kind of makes sense for Detroit as he can be useful in getting them into the dance, just do not rely on him in the actual playoffs.

He's 37 years old this season! Wings better keep him playing under 41 games. I might also point out the Wings don't play a defense first type game. In fact they play the opposite with a very aggressive offensive attack. Don't be shocked if Talbot's numbers are worse this coming season.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

OK

 

[fsanford]

Questionable goalies that leave LA tend to take a step backward.
That system is very goalie friendly

 

[Nemesis Prime]

good deal

 

[ZDH]

Well, you need 2 goalies at least.

And Husso can't stay healthy.

 

[Pengu]

Yzerman should stay AWAY from free agency. He's terrible at it

Yzerman could sign McDavid to an 8 year 1 million dollar deal and these same people would be in here in 5 seconds with "durrr Yzerplan is digging his own grave!!" Just people desperate to bash the teams they don't like.

 

[better Red than Dead]

I like this signing, share duties with Lyon until Cossa is ready

He's not going to play 41 games Alex Lyon is the starter and yah his numbers will go down. But I bet he will be a solid backup which is literally the point.

Lyon will only move into the starter role again, if Husso goes on LTIR again.

 

[Go Wings]

Lyon will easily outplay Husso

 

[SherVaughn30]

Lyon will easily outplay Husso

Got a ways to go...

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So what is the plan here?
Lyon - starter
Talbot - backup or splits with Lyon
Husso - usually injured so #3?
Campbell - AHL?

 

[thekernel]

He's the best goalie they've had in years. Hard to see that as anything but a win. Good money too. If they can fix the defense they could actually make the cut this year

 

[Sensinitis]

I can’t wait for the Sens to light him up like a Christmas tree

Sounds like a plan.

They have 4 different options for the playoffs.

In a vacuum it’s a good deal.

When this just means we’re going to be running 3 backup goalies in rotation again most likely then I really hate it

 

[FlameChampion]

Yzerplan is no plan at all.
