It's a bit of a moot point since I doubt Mikheyev gets less than $4mil anyway.

If you can't see that Mikheyev is better then Kerfoot, no stat will change you mind. I'm too old and too tired to try to post up stats that show just how valuable a guy like Mikheyev is because the chances of me convincing you of something different then what you can't see or think would clearly be a waste of time.Iafrate said:

Mikheyev is a better skater. Kerfoot is more versatile. Other than that, there?s not much separating the two.

Eeek, I just read MLHS's goalie trade possibilities. As you'd expect, a million question marks but what got my attention is their discussion of the cost of unloading Mrazek onto the Ducks (or anyone). Picks, prospects, $$$ ... all to fix a free-agent signing.
I think they have to keep him and hope he delivers the form that Dubas apparently thought was there when he signed him. It's not an ideal bet but it's probably as good as any of the alternatives.
I'll just spitball here and predict we see the return of Optimus as part of a tandem. And pray for Kallgren or Woll or somebody else to be ready to cover for Mrazek if need be (perhaps read: when need be).

I basically see the potential options I'd have interest in sorted into these 2 groups...
1A: Campbell, Varlamov, Fleury, Gibson, Kuemper
1B: Mrazek, Reimer, Stolarz, Comrie, Blackwood, Georgiev, Murray (if bought out), Brossoit
Any one of the 1A's paired with one of the 1B's would be fine by me. All comes down to what makes the most sense cap/acquisition cost/value wise.

Here's a really good write-up of Curtis Sanford, and the influence Ian Clark has had on his playing and coaching career.

Edit: and before anyone asks, his Twitter likes are generally very anodyne, other than some potentially strong feelings about the Oscars slap ;D
Edit: some Vancouver reporter sort of confirmation that Curtis Sanford is moving on, at least.

I feel like "expert" in European free agent signings doesn't exactly mean as much as it did 10-20 years ago. It's not as if guys like Mikheyev, Lehtonen, Barabanov were all plucked from obscurity.
