Very good cap hit for Mrazek. He was arguably a top-10 goalie last season, or close to it. And just 24-years old.

The problem of course is that the Wings now have almost $9.3mil allotted to goaltending. And this bridge deal brings Mrazek to UFA status, so having to go for a cheaper deal now could cost them later.

edit: Still a RFA apparently, miscounted his accrued seasons from early in his career.

Very decent cap hit, and almost the mid-point between what they had submitted in arbitration.
