SweWings 45 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 There's a few goaltenders in that range of skill and pay still available so they shouldn't have much problem replacing Niemi I don't think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 Niemi himself is a good example of how you don't need a top named goalie nowadays to win the Stanley Cup. The guy kind of defeats his own purpose based on what he accomplished last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Bombay 2 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 Niemi is pretty much an average goalie who got hot for a couple rounds. He's not worth 4 million. There won't be much dropoff in the regular season with whatever weak goalie they get (Huet started half the Hawks game last season and was terrible, Niemi started the other half and was average, and the Hawks still finished with 112 points). The postseason will be the difference. Is Marty Turco capable of getting hot for a couple rounds like Niemi did? Probably not, but whatever. Niemi is almost just as unlikely to do that again. It sucks, but it was expected. This is Niemi's chance for a big payday, so he'll have to take it. Whoever gives him 4 million is going to be disappointed though.

thedisappearer 291 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 Niemi started the other half and was average If you think 26W/7L, 2.25 GAA, and a save % of .912 is average… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted July 31, 2010 Still surprised Turco didn't go with the multi-year deal with Philly. I think he priced himself right out of the market, early on. Too big of a flooded goalie market this year. If he got this gig in Chicago, I think he is lucky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
