Sutter case would win. The following facts would support the club:
(1) Kipper was the third string goalie at SJ.
(2) Kipper was beat out as the backup earlier in the year
(3) Kipper had a strong season but needs to play at a high level for 1-2 years to demostrate he is a true number 1 goalie.
(4) Kipper is an injury prone goalie. Played 40 plus games as a starter and sustained an injury that kept him out for 2-3 weeks.
