Nobody's shipping leclaire out of town until Elliott wins playoff series with this team and Lehner have at least 1 back-up season in the NHL. Which means 2 or 3 years.
Unless of course, next year Elliott plays lights out and we trade leclaire at the deadline.
How does Elliott get to win a playoff series if Leclaire is here? It's rare that your biggest earner will not get the call in a playoff series.
If Leclaire sucks come playoff time, we all know CLouston doesn't give a Dung and will play the hot goalie.
How many games can he suck for? Usually what I see is the series starts, the goalie sucks the first game, the coach backs him up in the post-game and lets him start because he's the man, then he sucks for the 2nd game and the series is over.
I<m thinking/hoping the goalie decision will be made 5-10 games before the playoffs begin...
