You're right, goalies know they can cash in on a good year, which is why they might avoid a place where lately goalies have been hung out to dry. Hopefully Martin can change that perception, but it's been 5 years of our team putting goalies in a tough spot, so they likely don't see Ottawa as the place they can reliably have a good year to cash in on. That's the crux of my point. We simply have a reputation for making life tough on goalies.
Seriously. No more big goalie contracts for a while. If one guy isn't working, just fling some other shit at the wall.
I’m saying it won’t stop a goalie from cashing in here. Like korpisalo did.
Yes. Man. Worse than chabot this year. He’s horrid.
I'm saying goalies might start thinking a 3*3.5 deal with a strong defensive team will be more beneficial to them casing in long term than a 4x5 deal that gets bought out after year 1 and results in them struggling to find their next gig,
If we trade for ristolainen, and Laughton is the “reward” for taking him on, we might as well move to Utah. That would be the worst decision in pro sports.
Where is this coming from?
Thats too much for Pinner. $3.75-4.5 on long-term deal.
Yes, Chabot's play has been improving over the last several games. Except for blowing a tire followed by a bad pass/giveaway by Stutzle that led to the Leafs 1st goal last night, I thought Chabot played a good game last night.
Hard to choose for me. Both have liabilities and lack physicality.
Perhaps 8 X $5M = $40M to set him up for life. It might be enough.
Rewatch last nights game. JBD was very good and covered up a few of Chychrun’s gaffes. He is getting better and better.
