Yep. 5.625 mill Vezina winner and a 600k McBackup - definitely should expect the same from them.
Now if only Bob would get up to McB's level things would be better.
That post from Brassard is kind of funny. I think what he was looking for was "Damn it, that's why you are a backup!".
Right now, we are kind of running with two backups. Once again, we're getting some of the worst goal tending in the league. It's amazing that Bob's record is as good as it is. Imagine what it would be like if he just played 90% as well as last year?
The only things I'm looking for right now, is for Bob to improve and try and tread water until we get our forwards back in the lineup. Let the younger skilled forwards continue to try and develop. Let the defense see if they can figure out how to not let players behind them on such a regular basis. Let Murray continue and develop.
Beyond that, I'm not even going to look at wins and losses. Notice I said "try" and tread water. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
If those things I mentioned don't happen, then our front office has some nice deadline and off season work to prepare fore - including a top 10 draft pick; even if it seems to be a fairly weak class. We have some players in the pipeline and if Gabby continues to suck (by his standards); some cap room to play with next season. If we can't trade RJ, we may actually burn an amnesty buyout and have even more cap room.
Too bad the FA market looks less than stellar for next season. Big named old people. Not exactly guys we would want to build around. Not sure I want to sign the contract Vanek is probably looking for.
