I think he will do well in a good young team, first and for most he called out KH on how he was building the team and KH could not have that.
Is this just a spun view of the report that Kahn put out saying that Mrazek at one point was angry that Holland wasn't able to trade Howard? You'd think Mrazek would've just backed up his anger on the ice instead of playing like garbage and losing the starting job to Howard or Coreau a handful of different times...
Then the team quit playing for Trash and as we have seen this year again hangs their goalies out to dry.
Was that before or after Howard posted .92+ in 16/17 behind the same team that Mrazek was garbage behind?
He was only a hired gun in Philly was never staying there.
Revisionism trying to cover for Petr's ECHL level play for the Flyers.
The Flyers would've had the chance to keep him past that season (hence the conditionals) and then could've moved one of their other guys to make room, but he gave them no reason to stay around.

Back on the thread topic... Mrazek pretty much displaced Howard and was near Vezina worthy at the middle of 15/16, but was never able to be consistently good after that point:
-He bombed a game against the Bruins on his 24th birthday and struggled mightily for the rest of 15/16, losing the starting job to Howard. Mrazek then played well in 3 playoff games against TB.
-At some point around this time was when some Czech language interview came out where Mrazek insinuated that his relationship with Howard was only professional and that Jim Bedard was better for Jimmy than he was for him
-The Red Wings went into summer 2016 by letting go of Bedard and promoting the goalie coach from GR who had previously worked with Mrazek
-IIRC, this was also when Kahn reported the whole thing about Mrazek being "less than tactful" in his reaction to Jimmy not being traded
-Also that summer, the Wings elected for team elected arbitration with Mrazek. This was when some controversial Instragram "how we gonna do arbitration with Kenny [dollar sign emojis]" or whatever appeared and then disappeared
-Mrazek ended up getting a 2yr $8M dollar deal, paying him like a starter
-Mrazek started 16/17 as the #1 guy. However, despite his big new paychecks and familiar goalie coach, he struggled early. Once the team started to lean on Howard more, Jimmy went down for like 3 months. Mrazek continued to struggle and for a little while he even lost the #1 job to Jared Coreau.
-At one point, in response to Coreau getting starts, Mrazek stormed off the ice at practice or something.
-Eventually Coreau revealed that he was nothing more than an AHL goalie and they rode Mrazek until Howard returned. After that they rotated.
-Then Mrazek got left exposed to Vegas, where he was passed on in favor of Tomas Nosek
-It seemed like at that point the Red Wings were ready to wash their hands of Petr and weren't going to give him his $4.15M qualifying offer, despite the pleas of his most ardent apologists
-After his trade to the Flyers, it was reported at a few places that he had burned some bridges in Detroit and even Petr himself had admitted that in Detroit he was "resistant to change" when his game went south.
IMO, it seemed like there were some attitude/coaching issues off the ice that soured the front office on him. It also seemed like at a certain point the league figured him out and he didn't want to adjust.
