The expectation is he won't play more than 40 games in the regular season ever again. That's why they paid Lankinen as well. It's going to be a pure platoon. And when that doesn't work, Robidas island.

Right, but then there's a helluva gamble that one of him, Lankinen, or Silovs will pass through waivers. I don't think any of them wouldn't get claimed by...oh I dunno...let's say the Oilers.
They have a 3-headed goalie problem and they're banking on the guy with serious injury problems returning to Vezina form (note, he did not look Vezina form at all last year even after recovering form injuries).
I mean, I'm happy that their management is making constantly questionable decisions, but I was wondering if I was missing something. Turns out I wasn't.
