logical people? You can't go into the season with Price, Lindgren and McNiven as your goalie depth when Price has been injured these past few years. So who cares about Niemi, either he plays well again and we trade him for a late pick or he sucks and either helps us get a better draft pick in '19 or goes to the AHL to mentor McNiven.
You don't have to like Niemi, to like the deal, we had to have someone and we aren't going anywhere so what's it matter?
That's kind of my point ... Niemi was not able to stop a beach ball for the last year and a half before coming here. Why would the half a season he spent here with one team be worth more than the previous season and a half he spent with 3 different teams? I expect him to revert back to the Niemi who was not able to stop a beach ball. BTW i said a year and a half but he was not stellar the year before either posting a 905 saves %. It's another one of those cheap nothing to lose project by MB. I'm done with those personally not impressed at all.
