Confirmed with Link: Petr Mrazek signed 1 year, 1.5M

[Navin R Slavin]

It's been an honor posting with you gentlemen



I can only hope we still are in play for Lehner at least. God help us. God help us all.

If you overshoot coma and actually die of alcohol poisoning, can I have all your shit?

 

[Anton Babchuk]

His .891 is better than Darling's .888

I am...not optimistic.

He had a .910 with the Red Wings in more games last season. Why only look at his Flyers numbers?

 

[Svechhammer]

Philly traded for him to fix the goalie spot and then healthy scratched him in the playoffs.

I trust Darling more than this guy.

 

[dogbazinho]

We couldnt get a western team to gelp us get Gru and this is our reward. I hope we offer sheet the world.

 

[hurricure]

I’m depressed... not that this wasn’t expected but once it’s real... it’s just sooo depressing

 

[Joe McGrath]

We got a goalie to team with Darling who is worse than Ward. Bold strategy.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Well, he’s a Czech buddy for necas, I guess?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Meh-razek

 

[CandyCanes]

I hope that 1 year deal is because we hope to go after Bobrovsky or Fleury next year

 

[DougieSmash]

I like Lehner better than Mrazek... and i can't stand Lehner. lol.

 

[GoldiFox]

Ok, ok.

So NOW will people admit that we should have spent less than $1 million to see if Mrazek was a fit last year?

I think Mrazek has the highest ceiling of the bunch. Just a lot of issues.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I mean this guy put up a great season with a starter’s workload in 15-16, and is still young. There was no exciting goaltending market to speak of, so we punted the goalie issue one year down the line and still got a guy that’s been a real starter before.

It’s not ideal but we aren’t in an ideal spot. I’m ok with giving this a shot.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Are there any goalies we can offer sheet?

 

[rhef3]

I think with Carolina's defense he will be better, wings had no defense and not sure how Philly compares but I know the canes will give him confidence.

 

[The Faulker 27]

So we have 2 backups, one that is terribad, and another that is meh-tastic. This should be a fun season folks. At least we have Svech and Aho to dry our tears.

 

[Wolfpuck]

He had a .910 with the Red Wings in more games last season. Why only look at his Flyers numbers?

I thought those were his total numbers.

 

[Stickpucker]

I like Lehner better than Mrazek... and i can't stand Lehner. lol.

I think Lehner is more consistent,safer but Mrazek has a lot of skill and little consistency.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Meh.

At least it's cheap and only 1 year. Leaves the door open for perhaps a 3rd option to be brought in and compete in training camp.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

lol

ty francis for giving darling that stupid contract.

only one year isn't too bad

 

[GoldiFox]

I hope that 1 year deal is because we hope to go after Bobrovsky or Fleury next year

and also they might want to play for the Canes because we just added #1C Jack Hughes through the lottery! All wins today.

 

[cptjeff]

Yikes. Darling better have taken all the steroids this offseason if we're going with Mrazek. He was worth a shot at the deadline (or well before) last year, IMO, because we should have been throwing everything at the wall like Vegas did when MAF went down to find something, anything, that wasn't Darling. After his flyers meltdown? Yikes. How the f*** were we not able to trade for literally anyone else?

 

[CandyCanes]

We may of just gotten worse in net, crazy. Our hopes might be on Nedljokivic to surprise everyone breakout this year.

 

[tarheelhockey]

We made the most beloved goalie in franchise history walk to Chicago so we could save $1.5M on this guy.

**** my life.

 

[GoldiFox]

Meh.

At least it's cheap and only 1 year. Leaves the door open for perhaps a 3rd option to be brought in and compete in training camp.

That 3rd is Nedeljkovic/Booth. Internal competition is cheapest and there isn’t anyone else out there worth gambling on.

 

[bleedgreen]

Ok, ok.

So NOW will people admit that we should have spent less than $1 million to see if Mrazek was a fit last year?

I think Mrazek has the highest ceiling of the bunch. Just a lot of issues.

Seriously no. Why? What sense did that make? We can scout him just as good playing for other teams.

I agree he has the highest ceiling because he still has a little unknown about him. I like him more than Lehner, and I’m glad it’s only one year. And cheap. I’m also glad we didn’t waste a Skinner or Faulk trade on a desperation goalie trade.
