Brayden Holtby in his last 200ish regular season games : .900sv%, 3.15 gaa

[Hivemind]

The buyout window is before the expansion draft. He’s the goalie that Vancouver is exposing to protect Demko while meeting the exposed goalie requirements. Thus, he’s not getting bought out.

 

[Mikeshane]

I see people saying Seattle will take him.

His cap hit is 4.3 but he makes 5.7 in real money. Just excellent contract work yet again from Jim Benning.

Im predicting Vancouver gives up a pick for Seattle to take him.

Not with what Seattle would be asking for. Would Vancouver want give up their 2021 first to Seattle for us to take holtby?

182 RS games goes back to the beginning of the 2017-18 season, where he struggled in the RS but ultimately won the Stanley Cup in Washington.

Goes back to losing Korn as a goalie coach.

He actually wasn’t too bad near the end of the season for a stretch there but it took him a while to get going. Having the worst defensive team in the NHL in front of you doesn’t help much either.

He won a cup in the midst of this stretch

 

[Hockeyholic]

Unlikely he makes the Hockey Hall of fame now. But can still maybe be a starter in Seattle.

what makes you think we'll take him... There would be far better goalies available.

 

[majormajor]

What's ridiculous is that he was well known to have taken a big step back already, long before Benning signed him. This shouldn't be news.

Yeah you'd think Vancouver would have to pay Seattle to take him.

Goes back to losing Korn as a goalie coach.

Korn was still in Washington in 2018. But yes, he’s the guy who could turn Holtby into an elite goaltender again.
