Race to Rolo aka 3way dealio

[Nick]

what suggests anyone has realized that?

Miller played an insane # last year and carried his team to the playoffs.

Brodeur does 60+ every year, ditto with Kipper... I hope Hiller does this year.


The Phi/Chi example are brutal, as neither team even gives a shit who is in net...

26 year old, waiver free goalie who has a chance to be the back up in chicago

vs

41 year old back up goalie

I'm far from being in a pinch. The season hasn't even started. I'm not over paying for an old back up.

50 games last year and playing behind often injured dipietro. They are also doing a rest tactic with him to help save him, one day on one off including practices. With this system it all but garuntees roli 30+ games if dipo stays healthy all year, turco will play 70....dunno seems like a no brainer to me but who am I to judge right. I obviously know nothing about that team.


edit. to clairify that rest tactic is for Dipo not roli

Teams are starting to clue in that playing your goalie for 70+ games is a retarded way to go about planning a season.

didnt know you were in direct contact with nhl teams. good to know

Apparently what Mashley said is true. Common sense isn't so common. But when in doubt, refer back to the ole "well I guess you are in the locker room / direct contact" schtick.

I guess there goes Kezia, being all defensive again.

Not gonna lie, that was pretty funny.

Didn't Buffalo lose in the first round 4-2 to a team with no offense?
Didn't New Jersey lose in the first round 4-1? Brodeur looked horrible. Again.
Calgary didn't make the playoffs.

I was going to say bud...sounds like someone didnt love you enough as a child

[Robin Hood]

that was a little to far bry. for you anyways lol. i expect it from kareem.

Atleast you don't stray too far from the schtick.

[kyuss]

wtf happened here?
could someone sum it up lol..

who had Roloson before this shit went through?
and why was he traded for almost nothing?

[Mash]

sort of a post expected from Kareem who borrowed an image from the Tony book of Photo's, which I must say I have grown VERY interested in someday personally exploring this book.

Also Shiv, the reason I didn't wait for Kezia is quite clear, the level of enjoyment was MUCH to high watching GM's scramble in search of a 4th, I must say Kareem's sucessful approach was quite impressive. Sometimes I think if Kareem and I were to write a book together that it would be PURE GOLD.

just make sure you understand we require goalie GP.

which is why beggars can't be choosers

I certainly can if it means trading Hannu Toivonen for Dwayne Roloson.

I'll wager a 1st rounder that Roloson plays more games than Toivonen.

I don't think Lee would want to take that bet. If Toiv doesnt out play roli he will already be losing a 1st

Toivonen isn't my only option and the puck hasn't even dropped yet. Like I said, maybe if it's 20 games in and I still have 0 played from any of my goalies, I might be concerned. Right now, I'm not over paying for an old back up goalie.

Which is why it doesn't make sense to give one up in a trade for the hell of it, like Tony suggested

A 4th Rounder is overpayment?

He also had a decent SV% on the Islanders last year. DiPietro is so injury prone, Roloson plays 40+ games.

I was watching a movie with my wife when all of this went down. I certainly would have paid a 4th for him.

I certainly wasn't paying:

Jeff Schultz

or

Brad Ross + Hannu Toivonen

As one GM asked for Roloson.

[MSP4LYFE]

Kezia is going to end up paying more for a goalie to meet the GP requirement, I guarantee it.

[Nick]

ross seems like a steep asking I agree... but 3rd + ahl goalie.... not really..

[Lee]

I'd rather over pay for a young goalie like I did for Harding than overpay for some of this stuff that's been offered to me thus far.

You couldn't pay me enough for my goalies

[Nick]

I agree with Scott.. I got the ducks goalie system, not worth me trading away unless i have another goalie system coming my way... Only Miller/BUF & Lundqvist/NYR are more preferred iMO, however there are lots of comparable (ward/rinne/ entire dallas system).
