This dude is the worst goalie I've even seen, I am assuming he's their 3rd or their GM needs a wellness check.

Could be a depth signing for the AHL but I think JBB knows what it takes to win cups.

He really is. If JBB thinks he's the backup he's lost it.

 

[Patagonia]

He gets a new deal and will end up waived back to COL?

 

[dirtydanglez]

avs gonna get him on waivers in january.

Sakic don't fall for this trickery.

TB hates the AVs. Set a trap by signing for 2 seasons and waiving in January.

Bill Zito is a great GM but makes 1 or 2 bad moves a year. No GM is immune. I knew he's one of the worst goalies the league has ever seen. I honestly don't understand how he keeps getting jobs, truly a DEL2 level goalie that somehow plays 10+ games a year.

There has to be somebody better out there. An undrafted, unsigned college grad. A random beer leaguer. Somebody.

probably because he's.891 and 775k a year. meanwhile vasy is .899 and $9.5m a year.

Calling out Vasey's SV% from a 5 game sample size after not playing any hockey at all for nearly 7 months. He'll end the season with a .915+. Not at all worried

jojo is a low end backup, being paid like a low end backup. performing like a mid tier backup this season. hes not the problem in tb.

And Vasey is just getting back into rhythm again 7 months off is a long time. His last 2 games he's saved 49/50 though.

Honestly insane hes STILL in the league as a backup. I dont remember the last time a 2nd league German team level goalie held down a backup job 2 years.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Pointless bump is pointless

 

[DFC]

He's lucky TB has been too close to the cap to prioritize a back up. That's probably changing right now.

Were they not able to fit Reimer in under the cap?

Brandon Halverson is on Tampa's farm team in Syracuse and leads the AHL in GAA & SV%, though only playing in 7 games (4-1-2) I don't follow enough to judge his game down there but maybe the Bolts waive JJ and give the guy a shot

 

[Byrddog]

For the near future the back up will have only a small number of games in Tampa. So it works out from a $$$$ standpoint , if the team needs the backup for 20 games like most teams do it would be a big problem. . JJ is just not a very good goalie, he's not a guy that will win 50% of his starts that has been the benchmark for backups. JJ allows goals by the bucketful most nights, but economically that's where the team is.

He would need a contract first, he’s on an AHL deal.

not at the time

 

[GoBoltz56]

Honestly one of the worst goaltending performances I've ever seen in an NHL game from him last night

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Never give up your dream people.

If he can get new contracts continuously, so can you.
