Ned has to play 9 of the remaining 25 games.

If he doesn’t, he becomes an UFA per his contract. If he does, he can be tendered as an RFA.

Sara Civian has the full explanation in her Athletic article. If you don’t subscribe to the Athletic, you should. It costs the same, per month, as one of those Venti lattes you drink every day.

I know that, if he doesn't get those games, he'll be unrestricted. But, if he does qualify as a RFA, that makes him eligible for the land of Starbucks to steal away, no?

Pretty sure he would be eligible to be taken by Seattle but every team can protect one goalie without sacrificing a forward or defenseman slot.

Right now he is the only goalie under contract beyond this season.

That sounds right. But, I remember reading somewhere that there was a scenario where Ned doesn't qualify and we get penalised another expansion pick AND Ned is an UFA.

Well RFA. He’ll still have to be tendered.

On the full subject I bet we give Reimer some “rest” when Mrazek is ready until they playoffs. I bet we run Mrazek Reimer though in the post unless Ned is playing insanely good by then.

Does he have to start? Play the entire game? Can he come in to replace Reimer and have that count? Part of a game?

 

 

Pretty sure games will only count if he plays at least 30 minutes, so realistically he has to start 9 more games (and not get pulled early in any of those 9).

What if we dress Reimer up in Ned's gear and tape some of those fuzzy caterpillars to his face.

Keeps him eligible as a RFA and inflates his stats, driving his price down on an extension.

Yep, thrilled that we're rolling with Ned right now. I believe this'll be his first consecutive starts of his career, hope he dominates again tonight and can take hold of the starting job, or at least be in the mix over Reims when Petr comes back.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
