Devron Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Fell of the beaten path. Can’t see anyone really spending huge money on this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtby's numbers haven't been very good and although he has a cup, he isn't really anything more than an average goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Blight Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 He will end up in Edmonton or Calgary making $5 - $5.5M..........effectively a pay cut from his expiring contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverHabitant Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Another player that is appreciated by his franchise and the management is choosing not to be the one that breaks it to him how little money he will get this year. I expect a lot of players to be told to explore the free agent market. Why be the bad guy that tells your own player how bad his next contract will be compared to what he was expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Pretty awful #s last year, but decent pedigree. Wonder if we might see a Holtby-Trotz reunion (as well Holtby-Varlamov) with Greiss possibly hitting the FA market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead44 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Mediocre numbers the past three seasons. Outplayed by good backups in Samsonov and Grubauer and only managed to marginally edge Copley statistically who isn't even a legit starter in the AHL. He is only worth 1.5-2 million but might get 4-5 based on his pedigree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Crawford, Greiss, Khudobin, Markstrom, Lehner, Talbot, and possibly Lundqvist (plus Murray and MAF likely being traded) all make it onto the market Holtby may have chosen a bad year to have terrible #s and become a UFA.

Yea for sure. I don't think he's getting a raise on a 6.1M cap hit tho; at the very most I could see a match of his real dollars salary 5M.

Holtby's numbers haven't been very good and although he has a cup, he isn't really anything more than an average goalie. Holtby’s numbers WERE very good. He nabbed a Vezina not too long ago right? Bad year considering he’s a UFA. He’s a great target for any team looking to upgrade their goaltending at a low market value. His stock is lower then it should be. Goaltending is a fickle position which is why both Price and Bob have huge deals. Anyone who thinks JM will be the same goalie for five years needs to look at the macro view. Look at Khudobin and his age. Look at any goalie since Luongo’s mid - thirties. Broduer was the last one really that provided year to year consistently above average to great play. Holtby will find a home and it could really work out. Or maybe not at all. But he did do it ... didn’t he tie Luongo’s best season? Or Broduers record? He shouldn’t be more then an average goalie - and I doubt he is, but you never know with this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to include his .922 16 win playoffs three years ago too. And WSH isn’t known for their defense especially since Trotz left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Meh. Next Jimmy Howard/Corey Crawford. Decent goalie with his best days early in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford’s last three years stats add up to Markstrom’s fairly well and he’s 35. Playing for a CHI team that’s not much different then we were after the Sedin team unravelled. Only slight on him is health. What would you rather have - JM at 6 x 4 or 5.5 x 5 with some clauses or Crawford at 2.5-3 for two years playing 35-ish games? I know which side I’m leaning towards.
