hf101 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Maybe a bit high ended at 7.425M for a goalie, but maybe not for the new face of the Jackets franchise. Bob now has the second highest cap hit in the league behind King Henry. This deal is a combination of "we're investing in you," and "we still want you to work to get better" without the commitment to signing him long term into his 30's. Great deal for both.

flyercanuck Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Good for Bob. Seems like a really fun guy to have on your team, and a heck of a goalie to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Honest question: why is Bobrovsky at the NHL all-star game and Mason isn't? They both play for bad teams not in the playoffs with identical points in the standings. Bobrovsky has a winning record, but Mason has better GAA and save %. In fact, Mason has the 2nd highest even strength save % in the NHL this year (.933) behind only Lundqvist. Bob is 15-12, 2.88, .914Mason is 8-12, 2.44, .920 EDIT: Nevermind... just noticed that the ASG is in Columbus this year... doh! The Jackets have 3 players there. And this was not to say Bob doesn't deserve to be there - only that Mason is actually having a better season than Bob. His team just isn't pulling its own weight.

I could not have told you that off the top of my head. After having said I was unsure of him earlier this year, I have come around on him, but still didn't know his numbers were better than Bob the Great.
