i would take schneider over rask. hopefully he gets traded out of van. i would also take brent johnson, and would say he is one of, if not the top backup in the league and his stats back should back that up. i know he was near top 5 for gaa and save% most of the year, and probably does have the best stats of any backup. ty conklin was great until he got sent to a shitty team. and the team you play on does make a differnce. timmy thomas wouldnt be putting up his numbers if he were in edmonton. ive always liked hedburg, but for some reason he seems to struggle as a starter since he left pittsburgh way back. matheiu garon is pretty good. biron id be happy with as a backup. and for youngsters right now id take a good look at holtby and enroth. if washington maintains there defensive program their gaa will improve greatly. an 11 and 14 record by tuuka rask is not that impressive. especially since he does have one of the best teams in the league playing in front of him every night.
