It was nice of the team to give Linus a warmup game so he can shake the rust if for the 4 Nations. Now he can get another week of rest and be ready to go for Sweden!

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
My biggest concern with this guy is looking like a reality. Started 23 games this year with only 27 games left in the schedule. Even assuming he gets 2/3rds of starts the rest of the way through (not remotely a guarantee), he'll finish the season with 41 starts. You just can't pay your top guy $8M+ and he only starts half of your games. The math doesn't math. There's 8 guys in the league who already have between 38-42 games started. Many of them will finish with 55-60 GS. Last year, 8 guys finished with 55-60+ GS.
Next year, he will be one of 8 active goalies with an $8M+ caphit. I sure hope there's some sort of plan to get him up to the same number of starts as the rest of that grouping. Otherwise, this will not be a good contract for this team.

The good news with Leevi's emergence is that we can probably go 50 games to Ullmark, 30 games to Leevi next year.
