Just right. Hopefully he only needs to be "barely competent", which I think he has managed in the past. But he has also had 45- and 48-game seasons in the NHL (both more than Saros has ever played) so in an apocaltypic scenario we should be covered.

Term is perfect, if anything the AAV is a good bit below what we might have paid chasing some of the other guys.

 

[Tysonson3]

Solid enough as long as he can come in and play 20-30 games and put up decent stats

 

[NoNecksCurse]

he definitely is a backup. i like the 1 year. fills a need, re-evaluate next summer.

 

[Armourboy]

Yep that works.

 

[beardawg]

Don't hate it. It's a win if he can put up league average numbers for 25 games

I don't have the give a crap to keep up with all the different names and such around the league.

I don't have the give a crap to keep up with all the different names and such around the league.

I knew of him because of his 2-0-1 record against the Preds and never missing the Battle of Alberta if possible.

I think this is a solid signing.

And here's me, spending every summer creating ratings for a hockey sim... digging into stats and bio's for 900-1000 players each year and the fresh draft picks... I know way too many players who are totally inconsequential, but all I can do with this knowledge is scare off normal people who aren't ready for the dumptruck worth of Pierre McGuire that I unload on them when they ask "How about the weather?"

I grew up studying the stats of leagues worldwide at the back of The Hockey News, memorizing names, teams, and getting to know every league.

Nowadays, I read through the FA list and research anyone that piques my interest.

Oh yeah, I remember getting the "Hockey Almanac" back before the internet days and using trading cards for stats before Hockeydb.com

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

A few years ago in my last move I dumped all my ancient stacks of the Hockey News and Guide and Reigsters, and Sporting News Hockey Guides and Hockey Registers going back to the late 70s. For all the hours I lived in those books, I finally bit the bullet and gave up on sentiment; everything is online and I am still going to have to move at least 1 more time in my life.


And indeed today is a busy day, staying on top of my FHL database. Just flicking back and forth to CapFriendly to see if they get the numbers confirmed so I can copy them in.

Somebody has to do it. I'm glad it's you all and not me. I enjoy the game and the details within the game but I've never been into all of that stuff.
