Agree with all of this. Zherenko is having another solid season in the AHL, by the time Hofer's contract comes up, he should be ready to fill that role with a higher ceiling.Dave's a mess wrote: Wed Feb 28, 2024 9:46 amI think the move goaltending is to keep status quo with this tandem next year. Binner has bounced back to form, and Hofer has performed as well as you'd hope a kid would in his first NHL season. Devoting just under $7M to goaltending is pretty good cap management, and the performance overall has been solid.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Tue Feb 27, 2024 8:13 pmHe has an average at best team in front of him. He’s at worst a capable back up. I think it highlights more how good Binner is and how much he bails this team out.
The 3rd goal tonight though was soft. But that’s a backup for you
Early in the year I was on board with the idea of trading Binnington while he was hot, but that was also during a pessimistic tear it down and start over period. Hofer has one more year left on his entry level deal. I think you take that year of cheap labor and figure out what the picture looks like at that point.
