Great news, absolutely no upside playing this guy, or even keeping him on the roster IMO. And to everyone saying he is a solid backup/career backup…no he really isn't. He's a third string goaltender that has made a couple of runs (unsuccessful) as a backup and played a bit as a #1 due to injury. Since turning 25 he has played way more AHL games then NHL games, hell in the last 3 years (from age 30-33) he has played way more in the AHL then the NHL. Sorry, but he's not close to being a "solid" or "career" backup goalie in the NHL, he is clearly AHL calibre and judging from his quote in the Herald, doesn't seem to realize it.
You're lucky to be collecting an NHL salary Joey, you should be nowhere near this league.
