Khabibulin's value going up

He hasn't tried hard enough to get rid of him and I think that he's hesitant because he made a mistake in Huet. He could easily trade Khabibulin if he was willing to take back someone else (can't see why a Gerber for 'Bulin trade would not go down), or he could try re-entry. He's obviously wanting too much in return or he realizes he made a mistake signing Huet.

I don't think Huet is as bad as you're describing him.

His save % in the last 4 years vary between .916 and .936.

He's been better than anyone we've had in the last x years ...

I'd like whatever you've been taking...Huet is better than Gerber. Period. Hardly better than any goalie we've had in the last x years....

Feel free to help yourself to a glass of red wine (best zinfandel at $10 or so - Dancing bull) but I'm not sure what your point is ...

I never said Huet was bad, just responding to someone saying that perhaps Huet was going to be moved so they can keep Khabi, and I was merely pointing out the absurdity of such a move.

Absolutley agree.. Huet is not the answer for Ottawa.. He's got a rap for letting goals in at the wrong times too.. Exactly what we don't need..

More of the same - great! I'll pass.

I've never been a big Huet fan, and feel he's overpayed. For the term on his deal, I say pass!
