After what he did with Providence last season, I think he showed he could have a big future. I honestly though if Rask did not return they would roll with Halak and Vladar until one of them floundered enough to require bringing in a different GK. It would have been a gamble sure, but one that could have certainly payed off and allowed them some financial room. If anything were to happen o Halak or Rask in regard to injury, I think Vladar comes up and takes their place for certain. And I honestly think he has it in him to be a top 15 GK or so. Not sure exactly where in that top 15. But definitely will be an NHL GK and I think probably a starting one. If Rask does leave after this season, fairly certain he gets his chance then. And Marchand and Bergeron still have a at least 2-3 seasons left with the way they look on the ice still, so if Vladar doesn't cut it, I think he will be on a short leash. And I can absolutely see him doing a Murray, a Binnington, a Merzlikins, or now I guess a Lankanen. Looks like Hawks got lucky with him at least. And I think the Bruins believe in him, otherwise they would have had more cushion under Rask/Halak. Too bad the AHL is still...... meh
