(Rumor) Canucks interested in Cristobal Huet


Recommended Posts

Only if he comes fairly cheap, and management/ownership is fully prepared to send him to the Wolves if Lack outshines him in the preseason.

Having a vet help Cannata with his transition to pro ain't a bad idea.

The person with a short memory would be you. He wasn't horrible, he just wasn't as good as his contract. He wasn't playing like a 5 million dollar starting tender, but he certainly seems qualified as a veteran backup to get signed for 1.5 million or less. Putting him here, back with the goalie coach that brought out the best in him probably wouldn't hurt his play either...

I would take Dan Ellis over Huet any day, if we are looking at free agents. I would take Ellis even if he demanded twice as much money as Huet wants. Huet sucked pretty hard 2 years ago in Chicago. He's now 36 and will turn 37 this August, and he has been playing in Switzerland the last 2 seasons. IMO he's certaintly not a safe choice behind Schneider who will play his first season as a starter in the NHL.
