Holtby has peaked. Can’t wait to see which team hands him a big contract in the summer.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it is the Caps D.

Lol @ a Pens fan calling another D out.

I can see Calgary trying.

 

[Tender Rip]

The Avs are good. Real good.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

According to that main board thread about Washington's goaltending, some Caps fans seem to think Holtby is basically 2012 MAF now.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Nope. Don’t have the cap space. Flames are happy with Rittich as well.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The Avs are good. Real good.

And real fun.

 

[Khelandros]

They will have cap space next year. Also, .906 SV% and 3.05 GAA Rittich? If the Flames are happy with that, they might as well not even bother trying.

 

[vikingGoalie]

That 10M contract for bob was questionable when it was signed, it's still only 5 games played but an 87% save percent? woof. Good luck with that contract Panthers.

No they won’t. They will have to replace a top pairing defensemen. Rittich has been fine this season, rest of the team not so much. He’s also signed for next season at 3.5mil. Flames aren’t spending 11+ mil on goaltending.

Agree to digress, until July 10th, 2020.

That's kinda why I want Washington to re-sign Holtby to a monster contract: that would wreck their team big time. With Cbus they've got lots of room so it won't impact them for like 3 years down the line.

You can't pay goalies big coin in this NHL

I’m torn on that contract. The Panthers desperately needed a goaltender, even if it meant overpaying for one. However, were there any other teams trying to sign him? Was his asking price that high?

Holtby has to rebound this season if he wants a big payday. i have more confidence that he will then bob. but yeesh holtby gave up 3 stoppable goals on 3 shots last game i could see one of them but not all 3 on 3 shots.

Even if Holtby has a mediocre season, he's got enough of a rep (and a Cup) as a big time performer.
His resume is better than Bobs. So his contract number is going to start with at least a 9.

it was so bad you have to wonder if someone in Holtby’s family put a lot of money down on the game for the Avs to win...just saying

This is exactly it for me in regards to Holtby vs. Bobrovsky. Holtby has shown he can step it up in the playoffs, even after a mediocre regular season. Bob's career is full of iffy playoff performances.

GA/G for Pens is 2.67. Which is lower than 20 other teams.

 

[Ms Maggie]

The Avs are good. Real good.

Putting my hope in the fact the Avs eventually have to lose!

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Shero staying loyal to his coach is very..... not surprising.

 

[Turin]

Jets need bodies on D so bad. They could even use Badbranson nevermind Gud.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Sometimes I forget that Tocchet is a really good coach.

 

[Turin]

Guerin really gonna be able to draft Lafreniere right away?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Guerin really gonna be able to draft Lafreniere right away?

If he trades for Jack Johnson

What is exactly proving that?
