it happened with brodeur, it will happen to luongo, 4 year - 8M offers will come through for goaltenders like that, 10 years ago it would have happened for Roy, who knows maybe 10 years from now it will happen to Fleury or Miller, but when one of the 1-3 dominant goaltenders go on the open market, there will be teams taht offer him the max, i wold never offer the max for mccabe, and i'm out of the running for him if someone does, but when it comes to the top level talent it will happen. I personally was in a horrible goaltending position, it's still not going to be that great next year, and Brodeur would have fixed my goaltending situation for the next 4 years, so i was one of the few willing to offer that much. He is worth it, right now i think maybe a few players if they hit the open market would eb worth max, Crosby, Ovechkin, Neidermayer, Brodeur and Luongo, thats just my opinion.
