I can also see Gibson with no retention but Kerfoot in the deal.
lol no. 6.4m for 5 years for a goalie that has been well below avg for 3 years now would be an absolute catastrophe.I can also see Gibson with no retention but Kerfoot in the deal.
Kerf and Muzzin get value, what are you even talking about.Mrazek should be easily flushed if you attach a pick/prospect to him.
There are numerous tank stations out there.
Kerfoot should be an easy dump as well, and i think Muzzin can move without salary back ( and a decent return)
The Leafs cap issue isnt that bleak unless you are Darren Dreger.
No reason they cant commit 8-9M on two 4.5M goalies.
A regular season backup who can give the starter a rest and win most of his games no matter what he does back there.The fuck is he then if you actually want him playing games?

I understand your position, I just don't agree it’s the best move for us the way we’re built. I also don’t think we’ll find two Jacks for $8m-$9m. I still also buy in to the mental sensitivity aspect of this thing, that one guy should be confident he owns the net and isn’t at risk of losing it at any time.But again, the point is to have 2 guys who are similar caliber. Two Jack types. Neither can be trusted as full-time starters, but you can platoon them. They tried that last year with Mrazek. This is what Dubas wanted and what he'll continue to strive for. You're still stuck in 2004 I think. Really only 2 guys can be trusted as a full-time starter these days. Maybe 3 if lucky. So you buy 2 for the price of 1 good one and hope for the best. It's better than paying a lot for one. Or paying a little for 1 with Kallgren as the backup.
But Dubas knows this. He tried this last year with Mrazek and he'll try it again when he admits his mistake and trades or buys out his ass.

Jack is good. I know nobody wants to believe it, but he is. The attempts to get another Jack means something else to me than it does to you guys. The majority of the rest out there are Mrazeks, not Jacks.wait...what?
Why?
Jack is about as average a tandem goalie as exists in the league. Those go in the 3.5-4.5 range. Shit, we got one last year in that range, we're just terrible evaluators of goaltending apparently.
It appears the approach is to sign every living goalie and hope one works out.Here's a list of goalies listed on the Marlies website from last season, first thought - that's a lot of goalies:
