Still a hard pass for me. I like Igor a lot, but I dont think its smart to tie up that much cap with him. When Igor was in a rut last year Quick was more than fine.. maybe if we have an average goalie Rangers give up 2 more goals this game, Rangers probably still outscore them at the end of the day.. goalies like Matt Murray and Adin Hill have won cups.
If the cap goes up to the rumored amount in short order ($95+), then I'm absolutely re-signing him to 11-12.
People keep pointing out winning with average goaltending but this team has been reliant on goaltending since the 2005 lockout which is a MAJOR culture change for this team. I don't suddenly expect them to become like the 2010 Blackhawks just because we've reallocated his cap hit to filling out the roster, which is not something I trust Drury to do considering this teams 5v5 and defensive woes.
The bottom will drop out real quick without Igor there, and don't expect another rebuild via blowing up the core either cause we all know that ain't happening either. You'll get a retool with Igor.
