Would Kipper be happy with 40 games if that's what they wanted to do?
The other possible upside is if one of the other goalies does step up, then you have the luxury of having a tradeable asset if/when Gillies does step in.

I think we're better off without him, as much as that hurts to admit. The whole team was terrible last season but he in particular was a weak spot. Based on his obvious lack of fitness training and the fact that he smokes like a chimney, I don't think I want him to mentor any of our young goalies.
