In reply to asshatduck. Not postseason. Ozzie has had much more success.

I assume he’d get as many as Osgood.

You know… zero.

So long as this works with the cap and Nabokov gets 0 post season starts it doesn’t bother me.

In reply to Michael Petrella. I'm thinking this signals that Ozzie won't be ready in time for any regular season action and they don't want to go with a Howie/MacD platoon. Obviously once the playoffs start they can bring Ozzie off of LTIR and have all three since roster limits expand

In reply to Michael Petrella. D'oh! Didn't know about Howie's deal coming to an end. And I just rechecked stats on Wikipedia, Nabby and Ozzie are dead-even, on paper.

In reply to asshatduck. This is the final year of both Chris Osgood and Jimmy Howard's deals.

In reply to VipersGoneNotForgotten.

They CAN have three goaltenders, but would prefer not to (obviously). Like I said, there’s nothing stopping one or the other from being re-waived.

And further, maybe Chris Osgood can’t return, physically. It’d be a sad way to learn about that, but stranger things have happened.

How much longer does Ozzie have on contract? I could see him retiring if that contract is up this year. He finally got a milestone he’s been looking for and Nabakov is just as good as Ozzie has been in recent years.

I would love to see this happen, but what would become of osgood. They cant have 3 goalie’s on the roster, can they? Does this signal the end for osgood if he clears waivers and signs with the wings?

I could see this as a Holland genius regular season backup or 1/1a scenario for next season move if it all works out the way the team wants. We’ll see come next season.
