The guy is a solid option. Better than Andersen and Reimer? I think so. But he'd probably cost more to get as well.
At around $6mil a year, I am not sure he is that much better or cost that much more. Could be in the conversation for sure, though. To me, he would be in a similar situation as Bishop. If there are cap/expansion issues that force a guy out, then the acquisition cost should be lower. I would trust Bishop more, but the risk would be his UFA status coming up.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
