I think they will make the playoffs next season. I just think its funny how half their fans are in total denial. My prediction is 8th seed. But I also predict they will be ousted in the 1st round.

Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 But don't the Preds still have Mason? And if I recall correctly he is pretty decent in his own right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legionnaire11 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 this is actually a re-signing. and a very good one. Rinne will still most likely be in the AHL next season. He's probably ready for the NHL. He looked really good in his debut last season. But I think the preds sign a veteran backup for Mason and let Rinne get another full year of starting in Milwaukee before bringing him up for good. FWIW, he preds scouts all agree that Rinne could one day be the best tender ever to suit up for the Preds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 Chris Mason is a good enough starter, and this guy is probably a good enough back-up, but a good enough back-up for Chris Mason who is going to have his first year as starter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

w00p33 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 In my own little world, I'd rather have Rinne stay in Milwaukee another year, for Milwaukee's sake. As I live in Wisconsin, this should be understandable. His backup, Goehring, has a good style and is one of those rare goalies who seem to play best in the worst situations and then lets that easy stop slide right by. That said, Rinne can hold his own and though I don't think he should be full-time (starter or backup) NHL this year, he should follow Mason as the Pred's next starter eventually or longer-term going somewhere else where he could start.
