Phew, while he could fall off the map, its nice to have a secure player in that spot

You mean smith isn't secure?

Have a feeling he will make Smith look bad with an improved team in front of him. But the Coyotes need Smith's awful salary to hit the floor. Grumble grumble.

Chayka in release: "Louis had a breakthrough season last year and we are confident that he and Mike (Smith) will form a great tandem for us"

Interesting to me how he calls them a tandem. I could just be reading what I want to hear but regardless, hope he and Smitty split games 50/50 this year

He will be great in Vegas

Goalie tandem is a common phrase

Great!

What the word tandem leads me to believe is that we are not in the market for a veteran backup for Smith at least. But I'd assume we'll sign a Veteran goalie for Tucson.

one RFA down, many more to go.

I don't expect him to split starts 50/50 with Smitty (although I wouldn't mind). I'm guessing it will be around 40 (LD)/60(MS) barring injuries depending how each plays.

Even that's generous. Tippet has had the habit of going with Smith like 85/15 even when goalies like Dubnyk are rocking it and Smith is struggling so I'm not holding my breath.

Same here. It seems like the only games Smith doesnt start are due to injury. 3 games in 4 nights, He has pizza to sell!

1.05m aav

 

[Mosby]

Wow! I was expecting a fair bit more. Great work again by GMJC!

 

[Howler Scores]

For some reason I figure 2 million aav. 1.5, 2.5....but good work.

 

[Ebb]

1.05m aav

Well, if we don't rely on Domingue further, I guess that makes him a tradeable asset.

I'd like to keep Domingue, but not if he's only getting around 25 starts per season (he plays better than that)

 

[Plub]

He's young and played very well. Better than anyone thought he would. He turned this team around for a while. I don't see him falling off the map. I think he's our future starter and if Smith plays like he always does, Dom will be our starter by seasons end.

It's easy to give money away when it's not yours. I thought he might get 1.2 because he really has not proved himself, and that is why I think he may get more starts than what some are expecting.

 

[RR]

According to CapFriendly salary is $1m this year, $1.1m next year.
I thought he'd get more. Another solid move by Chayka.

 

[Mosby]

The fact that this is two years and not one is all we need to know about Mike Smith being unprotected for the Vegas draft.

There's only 24 million on the books next year. I wouldn't be so sure that Smith gets dumped.

There will be better goalies available anyways

True but we can always overpay someone else who will still be a worthwhile player. Smith is just so inconsistent you can't count on him at all.

Oh I think he sticks around, but he'll be unprotected. Vegas will have better goalies to choose from.
