he stays healthy?Someone please try to defend this.
Holtby and Raanta did.Dillabaugh? Must believe he can restore his game
honestly how many goalies are coming to a team to play back up aside for about 30 games
Reimer is sh**.... Raanta is better but injury concerns are the issue and Holtby I used to like but lets be honest look at his stats vs Demko when there is such a difference on the same team thats raises flags. All goalies have been crap in SJ last 2+ seasonsHoltby one year 2 million
Raanta one year 2 million
Reimer two years 2.25 million
We signed Martin FN Jones to essentially the same deal.
they know exactly what they're doing, they're bringing in all the guys someone knows, other than ellis. i'm sure someone knows him.
Reimer has SIGNIFICANTLY outperformed Jones over the last three years.Reimer is sh**....

So are we going for the playoffs or for Wright? This signing makes it hard to tell.
He's 1 of 32Chuck Fletcher is definitely a top 15 GM in the league.
There is zero defense of this deal. At least if it was for 1 million you could say it was cheap and gave them some flexibility to do something else. Bad player, bad contract, and sets Hart up to have shoulder all of the load and pressure.
On better team.. Reimer is average with little upside .... you guys are not taking consideration the impact your team has on goalie stats its massive.... JOnes may be sh** but at $2 million for 1 year its not that bad... Hart likely signing for only 1 yr is my take....they probably didn't want to commit for more than 1 yr which limited them on LB and othersReimer has SIGNIFICANTLY outperformed Jones over the last three years.
If there is one way to try and insulate your young potential star goaltender, for a franchise that can’t find someone worth a damn for decades.
It’s to make him carry Martin Jones on his back, and bring back a coaching staff that’s publicly called him out - and I’m sure been just a pleasure behind closed doors.
Development baby.
