This is exactly the type of move Holland should be looking to make. Right? Mason would be a pretty good backup, and we have cash burn, and it's only 1 season. I think it's really a crucial time to have 2 solid goaltenders in the lineup... I don't want this teams poor play being scapegoated by lackluster goaltending... When the defense fails I don't want any excuses, that way we can address the real problems.

amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 25, 2018 I’d take Mason for a year to gain an asset for sure. Hell, I’d take a year of Myers too if they REALLY want to shed some salary and make it worth our while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if we can gain future assets for him, I'm all for it. I just don't see Holland trading him and signing two UFA goaltenders to fill the starter and backup positions. I don't see goaltending as a low depth position for us at all. I think we have better depth at that position than most teams in the league. We have at least three (Larsson, Petruzzelli, Fulcher) that could be future NHL goaltenders. The problem is, they're all a minimum of 2-3 years away. We just added two more that are in a similar time frame away. We need a stop gap or two added to the organization. Maybe Howard is that guy. Maybe Rybar, or maybe a UFA... The Caps just traded Grubauer, I doubt they'd trade Samsonov. Ouellet needed to go. He's a borderline NHL defenseman taking a spot from a kid in Grand Rapids. I hope he gets claimed but I doubt he will. same but with holtby winning the cup wed have to try and convince them to maybe make a move with samsonov .... maybe they have but we wouldnt know about it anyways ya i agree with ouellet would be nice to collect a 7th for guys like himself and rusos but its not meant to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 1, 2018 There have been a lot of rumblings about Zetterberg hanging 'em up... Is this a real thing? I hope not... A lot of reputable sources reporting it as a possibility though... Holland has said that he's been in touch with Zetterberg and as far as he knows, he'll be playing this season, but his back will be the determining factor. I know he said he was in some pain / discomfort at the end of last season, and couldn't practice, but for a player that has played 3 consecutive 82 game seasons (77 the year before), I'd think he still has some gas in the tank... Maybe this is all just a ruse for the inevitable LTIR after this season... I hope he plays 3 more seasons, but I fully expect him to hang 'em up after this season (hopefully no sooner)... 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is exactly my thought. I think we'll see him play this season out then hang em up, which I'll be okay with. He's still a productive player obviously, but I imagine it's not easy playing with a chronic back issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, another season of Zetterberg is a great thing for the kids. I'd love to see Zadina get some time with him. I just want him to join the 1000 point club. 40 points away. Assuming he plays and stays relatively healthy this season, he should definitely hit that mark. 2 Wheelchairsuperhero and amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
