Puzzling move.
Bryzgalov would seem to have little or no other offers and is getting a ton of money from Philly so why the need for 3 million?
Plus lost in all his crazy antics is that he was cut from Philly because he was bad on the ice. The off ice stuff does a lot to cover some of that up but this guy did not look like any sort of solution to goaltending issues at all the past two years.
I guess worrying about Dubnyk long term isn't really a concern since he sucks anyways but if Bryzgalov doesn't work out how great is Dubnyk going to feel when you turn back to him after bringing in Bryz to replace him?
Seems like a very risky move to get very little reward, maybe sqeaking into the 8th spot and a round 1 defeat.
