Retain $1 million on Holtby and the Sabres would think about it. Nobody in their right mind pays $4 million to a back up, and that’s what Holtby is now. I wouldn’t mind paying him $3 million as a guy who plays 35 games splitting with Ullmark.

I can see where youre coming from, we need at least one, possibly two goalies. Holtbys numbers are not much better than huttons, and i expected hutton to lose every game he started this year behind our skaters, and hutton did his damndest to prove me right. I dont know if van would waste a retention spot, and i wouldnt pay a 3rd for him anyways. It might be an end of summer move for like a 5th, but theres no good reason to rush it, hopefully some better options come along.

great another off season and canuck fans and tyson barrie - kill me

Benning has a hard on for him. Hes tried to get him multiple times. I think he does this year

benning does not have a hard on for him, fans and media do.

BARRIE WILL NEVER SIGN IN VANCOUVER.
Same reason Hoffman will never sign here. Barrie and Hoffman are one dimensional PP players and there is no way they bump EP/QH from PP1

Barrie is a waste of money
