Curious to what everyone thinks will happen next season in net.
Jarry probably doesn't want to play another full year in WBS.
Casey DeSmith is a FA and may have gotten the attention of other teams offering him a 1B role.
So does Jarry just become Murray's backup? There any inkling we'd somehow re-sign CDS?
Jarry needs to make a goalie expendable and he hasn't yet, I let him play out the rest of the season in WBS and try to see if he can make it deep into the playoffs, he has a lot to work on, he can't handle a #1's workload and he has consistency issues and doesn't seem to be able to play too many in a row which is something you need from a future #1.
Right now, I sign Casey DeSmith to a 2yr deal worth around 2-2.25m/yr to stay as Murray's back-up/1B. Murray gets hurt often, CDS has a chance to keep showing he's a solid netminder, but he's also 27yrs old, so if he sees that now that Murray is back and is getting the bulk of the games again and he liked being a default #1, he might actually just bounce on the open market to a team that signs him to be in a 1A/1B situation again.
Jarry is just 23yrs old.
Casey is making a name for himself at 26-27.
Murray did his at 21-22.
If Jarry wants out, cool, there's a market for him.
