We're arguing in circles.
If Kessel isn't back I'm going to be really, really pissed.
This is Chiarelli's worst move to date and one that has the potential to cripple this team for the next few years.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
Holy crap it's like arguing with a three year old, I can see why they banned you at SoSH.
This is the same Dwayne Roloson that put up a .915 SPCT with a terrible Oilers defense in front of him last year.
Alex Auld put up a similar SPCT in Julien's system last year.
You're telling me that if we didn't sign Thomas and Rask didn't live up to the hype we would have been screwed?
Any system that makes Alex Auld look like a competent goaltender has to be pretty damn good defensively.
Roloson just signed a 2/5 contract with the Islanders. I think he could have been counted on to put up OK numbers for 40 games next season.
Conklin signed a deal for 2 yrs at 1.3 AAV!
