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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmethead 235 Report post Posted May 28, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted May 28, 2015 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. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not next season, but you can't have a $5 million cap hit for your backup goalie. 1 marcaractac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
