should mrazek get #1 tag next season

There is absolutely zero chance Howard gets moved. You can bank on the two splitting duties for at least a year. Pretty good situation, we'll have a deadly tandem where both goalies are more than capable of running with it. Lots of competition every night can't wait

Mrazek is the #1 goalie. But we have to see if he can handle being the starter for 55-60 games. Howard will be motivated because he's playing essentially for his next team. He has to prove he can be a #1 goalie again if given the opportunity. Howard will likely be traded next summer. Mrazek will be a RFA and will get a substantial raise in the 737k he makes now.

Why would they draft a guy 7th overall knowing that he probably wont ever play for them?

KHL draft is pretty meaningless. They have junior teams as a feeder system that they don't need to draft players from.

Lol. The chances of McCollum being the next Drew Mac are pretty slim. But cool.

You're right, he probably won't be that good.

Yeah. The KHL draft is basically a "Hey it would be cool to own his rights if he ever came to play over here" type deal

He has to get moved at some point. Maybe not next season, but you can't have a $5 million cap hit for your backup goalie.
