This sucks. Another full year of “We played our fifth string goalie or we would have won the cup.”
Again, only to you.When the only thing you suggest in your suggestion is a negative value asset and some undetermined + it's reasonable to assume you think Poolman is actually worth something
If you say so. Good luck with your oh so enticing "offer"Again, only to you.
Yea because Pearson+ last year was sooooo much more enticing.If you say so. Good luck with your oh so enticing "offer"
Pearson was healthy when the trade was made. Do you not understand the difference?Yea because Pearson+ last year was sooooo much more enticing.
He was a warm body that cost Montreal ownership millions in order to garner a 3rd round pick. Poolman’s salary is mostly covered by insurance so a cost conscious team could dump a more expensive, expendable goalie and save potentially millions while also garnering a pick. Poolman not playing in that instance means nothing, it’s only the capspace that is the issue.Pearson was healthy when the trade was made. Do you not understand the difference?

I fully understand the difference. You must think Montreal’s GM was dumb enough to target Pearson as a positive on-ice player rather than simply a way to get value out of DeSmith.
All-in on Askarov!Demko career done?
The player has to agree to have surgery. Or maybe surgery isn't going to help him recover.Wouldn't it be better to just get whatever issues he has sorted through a proper surgery?
Right now, probably Tolopilo who actually arguably played just as well as Silovs last season.So if Demko is out that makes Silovs the starter, so who would be the backup if no move could be made?

Forgot about him, this makes more sense than bringing Tolopilo up.Jiri Patera
I’m not talking about a situation like the Coyotes where they took on contracts just to reach the cap floor. I’m talking about a scenario where Vancouver swaps Poolman’s $2.5M caphit to another team for their expendable goaltender making similar money and throws in pick(s) to make it worthwhile. The potential monetary savings could offset the cost of not getting a “warm body” in return.There are no more cost conscious teams in that mold anymore after the Coyotes moved to Utah. Unless you're talking about a goalie like Merzlikins.
Absolutely. I played 1/20th of the level of the NHL. I’m turning 31 in the fall and was told two years ago I have arthritis in both knees.Anyone else wonder if the "new school" goalie style is so demanding physically that goalies are getting hurt more often and more seriously?
Thanks....that narrows it down....Nothing confirmed, but there are rumblings that it's a body injury.
