Ottawa so badly needs a goalie. Wouldn't be a bad idea as melnyk might be willing to pay him to get to the cap floor with so much youth and ELCs/bridge deals on the payroll in the coming years with them on the upswing
Kipper was a #1, but ya.
Miika Kiprusoff?
Peak Kipper was one of the best ever, but other than him.. it's been bad.
Someone probably already jumped on this, but Mikka Kiprusoff was a mirage ?
I'm enjoying how the OP is straight up ignoring all these posts. The Flames have had a goalie since Vernon. Yikes.Miika Kiprusoff is Calling...
Flames really haven't had a good #1 since Mike Vernon. If there's one piece that is missing from the team that could really make them a serious Cup contender, it's goaltending.
I was too. No one is infallible, all he has to do is acknowledge one, say he was mistaken and it basically goes awayI'm enjoying how the OP is straight up ignoring all these posts. The Flames have had a goalie since Vernon. Yikes.
What do you think happens if the Wild look to be out of playoffs this year at the deadline? Do you think they could move Duby in order to maximize the return?Daily reminder that Dubynk is locked in at an absolute steal of a deal.
Tough to see Holtby leaving Washington, it's all he's ever known and won a lot of games with the guys in that room. At the same time, i can't see him getting 10M based on the last couple regular seasons.

Like Ovechkin possibly chasing Gretzky's total goals record, Holtby right now is the best chance at chasing Brodeur's total wins record. Holtby is good enough to win you 35-45 games every season.He is a Vezina winning, Cup winning goaltender. Last time I checked his playoff stats are about the best among the actives.
He has been a pillar for a team that has won 4 straight division titles in a division with the Penguins. Since he became the starter in 12-13 the Caps are tied with the Penguins for best record in the league(caps have a 1pt lead). Holtby has 24 more wins than any other goalie. He has a .918 sv% to Bobrovsky's .921. His playoffs numbers are .926 and 2.12.
What he can get going forward will be decided by this season, but he plays on that same good team.
Asked about his situation and could he take less to stay with the Capitals, he said he wanted to but that he also has a responsibility to the rest of the players in the league. Sounds to me like he is gone

So is it your bad or isn't it ?My bad regarding not mentioning Kipprusoff. I don't like his name nor that he didn't win a Cup, so sue me!
I'm pretty sure his next contract will be something like 5 years @ $10 million per year. Samsonov is the real deal and most definitely will be on the Caps roster the following season. Plus they also have a guy in Vitek Vanecek and Copley is no slouch either.
So where could Holtby end up or where do see him as a good fit for a team?
Lmao what in the world?!I swear the default response around here is "yeah what about your team!" I was providing my take on the situation. I don't think any of those options are a sure enough thing to be thinking about moving on from Holtby yet. I'm quite aware that Hutchinson isn't a starting goalie.
Also that's two people calling Vanecek an all-star. Being invited to the all-star classic does not make you an all-star.
