2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

Because he will be in a platoon with Woll and he's real solid and hasn't been injured that much overall. He won't be signed to start 60+ games.

He missed significant time with injury twice last year and turns 32 this season. He's missed time with a moderate to major injury almost every season of his career. Giving him the contract he wants now to save a few hundred K compared to what he'll cost next summer if he has a good year isn't worth the risk imo.

Comparing his situation to the superkids is a bad take "we always wait". Waiting to lock up a 21-22 yr old and a 31-32 yr old injury prone goalie aren't the same thing.
 
Stolarz/Woll are both "injury-prone" the secret is not being injured at the same time.
 
It's called "multitasking". And no matter how busy my day gets, I always make time for you, snookums.

It's a labor of schadenfreunde.
 
Even more nonsensical than usual.

Anyway, he's obviously going to reply to that last McDavid post. It would be like if you didn't reply to one, literally unimaginable.
 
As long as the contract does not come with a NMC/NTC, I am ok with that. Every team is looking for cost-controlled Goalies
 
It feels like the lull in activity for the past month has made us all forget about Kampf, Jarn, Robertson, and any potential trades or remaining signings (Roslovic). There's still some work to be done, and maybe Stolarz is part of it with a cheaper than expected short term extension. Hard to believe the season is only a month away, and guessing training camp is in a couple of weeks or so. Feels like the Florida series was five minutes ago.
