Was a fun game to watch half of lol

Had to bow out for the playoff game

What playoff game ? I have no idea what you are talking about 🤣

 

Outside of service time/contract stuff, why wouldn’t you want Holtz to get more experience? He seems to be doing great in the AHL

It's just the contract. You want his entry level contract to slide at this point. If we bring him up for 2 more games, he only has 2 years left, but if we don't bring him up, we still have 3. In a salary cap league, that stuff can be important.

Hanging in the ahl this year won't hurt him

That makes sense. Playoff hopes bleak anyways

Jesus Christ, just shut him down for the season already.

Yeah, this is ridiculous now. Even when he plays, he can't move at all. It's really bad. Just sit him. 

There are teams that will move a goalie for a late round pick. If we can live with the second year, have Dallas retain 1.3 Million on khudobin and throw them a 6th or something. Georgiev is another guy we could look at in the same boat. Can't imagine that Detroit is all that attached to Greiss. Martin Jones, Braden Holtby. It's okay to give up a late pick or lotto flier prospect to fill out the roster for the year at goal.

And if you don't want to give up an "asset" you can just go get Dubnyk, who is on a PTO in the AHL for Carolina.

Not if he's been unhealthy literally all season. It's hurting us more playing him than not playing him.

Agreed. He's arguably the worst goalie in the NHL. That's not the guy that we have (mostly) seen the last couple of years. I mean, he's had some struggles here and there, but this is a different animal.

Jack has a lot of costly TOs

That will always be his game. Drai tends to have a lot of turnovers for Edmonton as well. Marner in Toronto can be guilty of it as well. When you want the puck on your stick a lot you're going to make some bad plays.
