I agree.
The question is however would anyone take Huet?
I know at the beginning of the year they did everything they could to lose Khabibulin, including waivers .. but in the end he played better than Huet when the season was all done.
Unless one believes 44 saves by Huet in the last game means anything... but that the fact is he folded in most other pressure opportunities this year.
The fact is the team will be rid of at least one of thier goalies salary, I just believe its the goalie they should keep thats likely gone.
Im wondering what type of money Khab would get on the market? Both Theodore and Huet were signed to.... well STUPID contracts last year, so while I think as a starter he shoudl bet maybe 3 or 4 million.. it there anyone willing to grab him for crazy money?
