    Hmm, I must've read the wrong source.

    Mrazek's first year starting was pretty good, but this past season was a big step backward for him. Of course, not having much of a real defense back there didn't help him, but he let in plenty of softies all on his own.

      This year was a complete anomaly when looking at his numbers, going back a few years, even prior to his time in the minors. So I don't know what happened this year.

      Either way, this team needs a complete rebuild, and Holland isn't the guy to do it.

        With Howard being injured it was Mrazek's chance to take the reigns and run. He started to, but then stumbled badly. Coreau at times looked better than Mrazek or Howard. Absolutely a good portion of the downfall can be explained on bad defense. But the other good portion were all his fault.

        Howard will be 34 when his contract expires. He'll either sign a very friendly deal to close out his career as a Red Wing (an Osgood type deal) or he'll hit the open market (likely looking toward playing near home for Buffalo, NYR, TML, etc.).

        He still has a few years of starting in him (if he can remain healthy), and can prolong his career by being a capable backup. Who would have thought Kari Lehtonen would have squeeked out an extra seven years of his career (and counting!) after the troubles he had in Atlanta.



        *edit* And I'm totally saving up for a Kari Lehtonen Golden Knights jersey or a Darren Helm Golden Knights jersey

            Did you mean to bold Justin Abdelkader by chance?

              Nah, I was looking at this first and wondered why you wouldn't expose a 36 year old making $6 million who has broken 50 points twice in the last 5 seasons. Abdelkader has to protected because of Holland's "briliance".

                Well Helm has an NTC but was (apparently) asked to waive it and was exposed to the expansion draft.

                Or 4thPeriod has bad info.

                  Bad info. NTC doesn't factor into protection. Only NMC requires a protection slot or the player waives it to be exposed.

                    Hossa will miss all of next season with a skin condition that will prevent him from playing due to medication concerns.
