eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Allright.... IMO Cujo is better than: Mason (or Ellis) - San Jose Garon (or Roloson) - Edmonton Toskala - Toronto whoever is starting - LA Budaj - Avalanche Fleury / Conklin / Thibault - Pittsburgh Holmqvist - Tampa Based on play this season, Cujo would have a good chance to start on: Atlanta, Calgary, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Washington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 No way CuJo signs with San Jose. There needs are secondary scoring (sound familiar?) so adding CuJo is sort've a lateral move for them. They are no closer to winning a Cup with CuJo on the team than they are without him. Nabokov is an elite goalie and will still be the undisputed #1 in SJ even if CuJo was to sign there. For that reason, I don't see Joseph being signed in SJ. Calgary is a better possibility since Kiprusoff, though solid lately, still isn't playing above a .900 SV% but the Flames have been on a roll lately and are seeing improvements from Miikka. Over the last 5 games he's gone 4-1 with a .919 SV%. No way they mess with Kiprusoff's head by bringing in Curtis. My picks for CuJo's services Carolina - Ward is not the same goalie as a few seasons back for whatever reason and could use some mentoring. Pittsburgh - When Conklin comes back down to Earth, that is, if he does. San Jose has 2 big weaknesses that will doom them in the playoffs again: 1. Coaching/character/maturity whatever you want to call it. The symptons are blowing leads in the playoffs repeatedly, and having the worst home record in the league. 2. No back-up goaltender or not having any faith in their backups. The symptom is that Nabokov plays every single game. He will be worn out by March. - ala Brodeur and Nabokov, though good is not in the same league as Marty. Interestingly poor coaching has something to do with #2. What coach in his right mind would start the same goaltender every single game. This is just stupidity. You'd think that Wilson would at least put in the back-up against some of the weaker teams. In summary, San Jose NEEDS Cujo. Of course they won't go after him because the Wilson twins are not that smart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkey 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 I admit it. I'm bummed about this. I was sort of daydreaming about Cujo going to the Pens and helping them to make a more serious playoff run than last year. On days when I was really feeling separated from reality, I may have imagined the glory of a Wings/Pens, Hasek/Cujo final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turkey 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2008 So he has a contract that's a few months long for a team that, at best, might maaaaaybe have a shot at the cup. Is this just an attempt to stay on the radar for a possible job next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
