I like this deal for the Av's as soon as next year, however I don't know if I would take such a significant downgrade in my backup position heading into the playoffs. IMO a 76ov goalie whether performing well in the sim or not is not capable of handling the heavy load down the stretch and then in the playoffs. Huet's statistics are strong, but he only has played in 45 games, he might prove me wrong and shine with the heavier workload, but in the past it seems that goalies with ratings below 78 or so are not capable of handling the starters role for extended periods.
