I would strongly argue that Timmins had that pedigree when traded.
Particularly with how the value of goalies has shifted, and the fact that teams have done well without a premium netminder, that you would be hard pressed to get that return.
Which may mean you just keep him and that makes sense.
I am rather surprised that several teams, who are young and trying to compete, are allowing goaltending to be the thing that is, or could, undermine their aspirations.
