Ok here it is I been looking for a goalie and I got yes for only maybe 2 yrs left but no one knows for sure. Its costing nothing in payroll this yr at all. This league is hard to get goalies with out paying a arm and a leg. I gave up 1st rd pick and a young player. I still got players in minors. I'm not that high on drafting minors I would rather go after players know and not have to wait for 3 to 4 yrs I'm not type to want to wait for some one. That being said its up to u guys to vote.
I get your angle as I am about the same when it comes to prospects although I think a better strategy would have been to go after a 24-28 year old current backup that maybe / could potentially win starting duties should there be an injury or poor play by the starter. Worse case scenario you paid a backup price and he stays a backup but you have him for 8-10 season. Smith is a tree falling in the woods but no one is around to hear it.
Either way, I wont get in the way of a guy trading, strategy or molding his team. I will wait to see what the other votes are at this point but if for some reason I am a swing vote I will approve.
