Ben Shelley: Free Agency Options (Hurricanes Edition): Corey Crawford

Cam Talbot had a good "bubble season" though short lived. I think he would be a healthier tender than Crawford, a little younger too.
You could then trade Reimer in a package to Detroit. He probably would like to team back up with his old pal Bernier.

Your article gives me another approach on the subject. I hope to read more articles from you.

Goalies are unpredictable, but I'd prefer finding a good one (based on his resume) who has a few good years left in him! Crawford has, at best, a couple years, and then you have to start over!
I see a few possible choices that should have more than one or two years.

At this point a couple years is all you're looking for.

Do whatever you can to draft Askarov and the acquire a goaltender who is as good or better than Mrazek for a couple years while he develops.

That's it. They don't have the space to spend on a long term solution right now anyway.
