Quoting: Coachchippy
He's a .962 and 1.00 GAA this season on a dirt cheap contract?
Dude. No.
He will clear waivers thats how low NHL teams think of him. Any team in the league could pick him up for a 7th round pick any day of the week.
The sample size comments are accurate, as are the fact that he's a career AHL goalie. He will never be a starter, or even an NHL backup on a deep nhl team.
Also I'm boggled as to the overall concept with this AGM.
The rangers are currently top 3 team in the NHL while missing 3 key players. and yet the idea is to "sell off"
Mika at 50% is worth more a top 10 pick. I think Ryan Leonard is going to be a great player, he's also not worth a 40 goal scorer at 50% for the next 6 years! No team, in the history of the NHL has ever eaten that much salary for that long in a retained salary transaction. A buyout, maybe, but not ever for a retained salary transaction.
Additionally why are you moving sykora for a 2nd round pick, when he's looking really good in the AHL, and that only pushes " the young core" out further.
This AGM seems all over the place.
