Proposal: Should the Jets go for Mrazek?

[StatisticsAddict99]

With Mrazek being open to Vegas and not takes most would assume he's on the trading block... should we attempt to get him and if so what is the price?

A 2nd and a 3rd.

Id rather raanta or grubauer

No. He isn't good enough.

How about,
No. He is not good enough and he won't be able to cover up for our mediocre defense.

I would rather invest in a good goalie coach.

Not good enough should just be an option as well.

My thinking is the same.

With goaltenders, I don't care so much if they have an attitude, but when you're attitude is that you don't have to listen to coaching because you're good, but really you suck, that is a major problem.

I'd happy have a cocky Mrazek playing at a 0.920 SV% level.

But a cocky Mrazek playing at a 0.905 SV% level is an awful option.

No thanks. Pavelec II. Attitude issues, and the fact that an organization like the Red Wings left him unprotected speaks volumes. Go for Raanta.

A bad season is one thing, a .901 season is another thing.

No. He isn't good enough.

Couldn't find this option so I equated it to costing too much.

 

[nobody important]

I'm not going to vote because I hate being pigeon-holed. Give me a Yes or No option, and let me explain and discuss my rationale in the posts.

BTW, I would have voted No because he sounds like a problem player that Detroit was only too happy to make available, hoping that LV would solve their problem for them.

Meh much better options out there

 

[RustyCat]

Oddly, Budaj (again) would have been a better option for a few reasons. But that ship has sailed.

 

[jetsforever]

Yes with hesitation
I think he can be good, but that's basically the same as Hellebuyck. Probably better to get someone to split with Helle until he becomes a full #1.

Don't know a ton about Mrazek, but I agree.

 

[SLAYER]

Some interesting poll options, yet none that I would choose. Pass on Mrazek IMO.

 

[FiveHoled]

The value of Goalies right now seems pretty favorable at the moment. Looks like the Jets are 'all in' now too. So, timing couldn't be better to aquire one. I think they need to do better than Mzarek though, considering some of the other available options.

It would have been more cost-effective to keep Montoya for that matter.

 

[OutsideLookingIn]

No thanks. Pavelec II. Attitude issues, and the fact that an organization like the Red Wings left him unprotected speaks volumes. Go for Raanta.

Can you expand on the attitude issues?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

No. He isn't good enough.

Tough crowd. One bad season means he isn't good enough?

Went with yes, but hesitation. Hesitation in terms of his rumoured attitude issues. He also reminds me of young MAF from a technical standpoint, and that's not a good thing.

 

[Gm0ney]

Detroit's under no real pressure to deal him now though...his cost will have certainly gone up.

While no one knows exactly what the reason for the change of heart has been, some have speculated it boils down to an issue of off-ice attitude. MLive.com's Ansar Khan reported that, “sometimes (Mrazek’s) too cocky for his own good, some in the organization believe. He became increasingly difficult to coach last season, they said.â€

If this was a calculated move to scare VGK away from taking him, it sure seemed to work. I mean really, Tomas Nosek?

 

[Krave]

Schneider from NJD throw in Kovalchuk with him

MP, Hutch, some youngins, and high draft pick(s) woo!

DREAM ON!

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Throw in a throwback Teppo Numminen jersey, and you are more than welcome to have him for that!
