Speculation: Chris Driedger ('s future)

[Dread Clawz]

Maybe I'm the only person who understands that Ek is out, a person who was on the ice for over a period game.

I'm going to ignore the harsh words than fake news spewing from some people's mouths, because I've learned if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

For anyone who wants to participate (and the sooner you answer the better) I have a serious question:
How many more games do es Judge play as a Panther, Over/Under 6.5?

*EDIT* I'm saying under. I'm factoring in 14 more games of the regular season, possible injury, Bob getting all of the playoff time, and the trade deadline that is less than 15 hours away.

I understand, but as a GM, you gotta give your team a chance, especially when they were contending for the division most of the season. He's gotta reward his players here. I dont think Judge would fetch more than a 2nd, and if not then you hold onto him. We see what goalies are going for. GR touched on it too.

Depends I fully expect Q to ride the hotter goalie soon. Whoever gets going quickest is the answer.

I understand, but as a GM, sometimes you can't just let your assets walk out the door for nothing, especially if people are going to pay top dollar for them. Also unexpectedly your second best player brakes his leg 2 weeks before the deadline and is out for the season.
Sometimes it's a good idea to just cut your losses.


Don't forget guys, even if Judge isn't traded, over/under?

You're evaluating Judge solely based on him being a backup while others, myself included, see Bob crapping the bed again a real possibility and Judge stepping in. I mean he's been the better and more consistent goaltender for a year now. It could definitely happen.

 

[CursedCats]

With these trades that are taking place around the deadline so far, I definitely don't think it's unreasonable that Judge will fetch the Panthers a second and a third.

That’s nice, I guess he’s not getting traded then.

 

[CursedCats]

I do.

Why let him walk for nothing as an UFA?
Bob is going to play in the postseason. Despite what goalie plays, this team is nowhere near a Stanley Cup Contender without Ek, so why not sell high and cash in now?

If Bob sucks in the postseason which is entirely possible, they wouldn’t go back to Bob the next game. Driedger is likely to get some big games moving forward.

No one has the cojones to say over/under 6.5 games I see.

Over

Thankfully, we can put this thread away until after the season.

14 games left: 6 in regular season, and expectation of two in playoffs so over.

 

[Prominence Problem]

People who took the over get a little bump, as Judge's the scheduled starter already for Tuesday.

It will be interesting if Bob struggles in the playoffs, and Judge does well but the Panthers still lose their opening Series. Zito will probably still let him walk for nothing, which would be a huge loss in my opinion.

I don't really see a scenario where he stays

Judge is the projected starter tonight.
That would put him at 4 games since I set this line.

It does not make any sense to trade him, we are in the bussiness of getting the Stanley Cup, you go through the process of many months and injuries of getting said cup, and when you are really close to get there, then you decide to trade your better goalie, how is that a smart move?

Change my mind!!

Last chance to move him was at the TDL. He is UFA after the season is over.

 

[radkison]

Resign him and give him a shot at being the starter next year?

is Knight due for a season in the ahl? Does he make the pro roster day 1 next season?

I think with the obvious writing on the wall with Knight CD knows it’s best to test free agency. He doesn’t really have a future here.

That being said, is his career with the Panthers over?
