2007-2008 Penguins   33 1,865 18 8 - 5 78 1,013 2 2.51 .923

NHL Totals:   109 5,739 48 32 4 8 249 2,727 4 2.60 .909

 

At some point this season, people are going to look over the stats and compare what they are getting out of their players. Conklin and Huet have very comparable career numbers. Huet is getting paid almost eight times what the Conklin is.

I respect Detroit's mentality - go cheap with the netminders if you can.

Netminding, Detroit vs Chicago

Detroit

Osgood - $800,000,  .914 save percentage, 2.09 GAA, 27-9-4

Conklin  - $700,000,  .923 save percentage, 2.51 GAA, 18-8-5

 

Chicago

Khabibulin - $7,100,000, .909 save percentage, 2.63 GAA, 23-20-6

Huet         - $5,400,000, .920 save percentage, 2.32 GAA, 32-14-6

 

At around 1/9th the price, I think Detroit got the better deal.
