He doesn’t eat an unholy albatross contract, he pays $6m for a year of veteran netminding and gives Reimer and Scrivens time to develop rather than burying them forever behind Luongo’s required first-string status.

I would say its smart to not trade him just because we don’t know how healthy Harding will be.

If Burke comes calling on draft day, listen and listen well Fletcher, never hurts to lose $6 in cap space and then trade for something bid like Ryan or Staal
