I'm a little worried about signing a goalie under a bart trotz defensive system.

I feel kind of bad for Garth. He probably thought this was his big moment

He didn't even try. Assumed he'd at least write something this week and take the shot.

The writing was on the wall. Or literally not on his wall of comments. This might be the end. I commend Pachla for his balanced takes. Not sure a new guy can keep it together

So 3 years, $18m? That seems like market price. Might be light
- jcragcrumple

Market price for what? Bobrovsky just signed for 7 years $70m at the same age Holtby will be when he signs his next deal. And that contract was in Florida with no state income tax. Holtby won't get less than $8m per for probably 5 years at least. Only way I see him taking less is if he takes a team friendly deal to stay in Washington.

He’s having another “down” season
So maybe that drops the price a little

Who knows though?
Just think he’s an option worth exploring

Good Question, I like it.

TDL 2020
A) Dump for draft pics (not going to get them all done)
- Bogo
- Sheary
- Vesey
- Girgensons
- Wilson
- Erod
B) Hockey Trade(s)
- McCabe
- Thompson
- Risto or Montour (prefer it be Risto, but open)
* these are main pieces in a package, not 1:1 moves

Offseason
- trade for a young 2C if not done so at the TDL through hockey trade...either Strome could be available
- sign in FA or a trade a 3RW, assumes Cozens get 2RW duties next season
- Draft BPA in Forward ranks, preferably RW or C
- Resign RFAs
* Larsson
* Reinhart, if under $7.5 with good term, if price is higher, I might consider trading him...but need a replacement so tougher to do
* Montour
* Jokiharju ( not sure if his contract expires)
- Extend Dahlin on a 3 year deal ( sort of an early bridge deal)

Getting some confidence back, would be great to see him turn the corner. Should have been in Rochester to start the year.

He should’ve been sent back last season.

They’ve stunted his development since day one.

any GM that signs a goalie for 10 M and that length again is an idiot. Goalies should be 6 mil or less and on 3 year or less contracts. one hip or groin injury and they are useless ask scheinder and rick dipietro about it..

Goalies are like running backs in the NFL. You can find a capable one almost anywhere.
