True, I just think it could come back to haunt us. I also have no idea what management's plans are if we trade him. Ride Jimmy for 2 more years and then what? Hope we hit a homeroom with Larsson or Petruzelli? Seems risky.
It's all super risky.
1. Keep Howard / Trade Mrazek: Mrazek could be the superstud we hoped he would be. Howard's older and is well known for his injury problems. Doesn't last.
2. Trade Howard / Keep Mrazek: Mrazek's recent 2-3 game stint of being rock solid is a fluke and he returns to the form he's had most of the past 2 seasons. Neither Larsson nor Petruzelli nor Coreau (lol) are as good as we need.
3. Keep both: We've got $10M locked up in goalies, 1 of whom is on the wrong side of 30 and injured every season, the other whom has been inconsistent at best the past 2 years. And we've got a bunch of players coming up we gotta pay.
There's no good answers there.
100 bucks says jimmy goes tomorrow lol
Why not? He's been reliable this season and it's a back to back. There's basically no reason not to play him if your goal is to win games.
