Why so much hate on the term? Takes Howard to 35 and will be ending the last year Mrazek is an RFA.
5.3M per year for a goalie who's proven WHAT? in the playoffs?
Absolutely terrible.
mindfly, you hate everything, so has Howard ever had a team in front of him that was good enough for him to "prove" anything in the playoffs?
What has Mrazek proven? There's no guarantee that he becomes better than Howard. I'm ok with this deal, wish it was less money, but it is what it is. We need him. This doesn't mean Mrazek can't be a starter in the next 6 years either.
A hell of a lot more than Jimmy had at his age.
That's not how GM's think, they go by who is good now. Mrazek isn't as good as Howard now, he may never be.
knowing that both miller and luongo are available and both are better goalies we didnt HAVE to sign Jimmy for 6 years at that rate, thats bulsh...
