Sad thing is that we could just about ice a full team after "all of our giants" are gone.

Perhaps he's looking to be the big fish in the small pond?

Boy oh boy you are a tough one. What I'm saying is, you never know who the next goalie to pull a Giguere will be. Khabibulin had only won one series prior to last season and Kipprusoff had only one single playoff win. Let's worry about pulling a Giguere after having got past the second round for a change. If you think Osgood is the guy, THEN we're wasting our time. Fair enough. I'd say Ozzie is the best available combination of talent and cost. If Buttman gets to push thru his agenda, scoring in the league will be up. The need for a "lights out" goalie drops in that sort of scenerio. Who was the money goalie of the 80s? Probably Grant Fuhr. Check out his GAA. I doubt the league will ever get back to that level of offense, but it's not going to be a situation where the only way to win is from the net out like it is today. Besides, if you want to hitch your wagon to a hot goalie, there ain't nobody more streaky than Ozzie, right?

Kipper really has to prove he's not the next Giggy, so I don't know that I'll give you much for that point. As for Khabi, he had an excellent reputation prior to last season--if you're trying to put T-Blow in the same area code as Khabi, we're wasting our time with this discussion. T-Blow hasn't shown anyone anything. He's got nothing post-season and, even if you excuse that since he's been buried with the Blackhawks, he doesn't have that much regular season either.

And there are how many cups on T-Blow's resume? How many playoff wins?

Detroit gets T-Blow. Chicago gets a roll of stick tape and a dirty sock worn by Boyd the Void. Media pundits congratulate Chicago for getting the better end of the deal...
