His numbers weren't even over the top the season that he won the vezina. He really wasn't a very good goalie. After we traded him, his numbers were terrible. He ended up back in the AHL.

If you guys are referring to CAREY PRICE one of the best goalies to play the game currently playing in Montreal I don't really know what to tell you. Not a Vezina caliber goalie? Also he never played for us. Perhaps your talking about another player.
Also Alta, don't get crazy. While I agree Mitch Korn is a fantastic goalie coach, and it's a tough loss for us...it's not the end of the world. Let us not ourselves here. While this team certainly still has problems, regardless of who the goalie coach is Braden Holtby is absolutely not one of them.

The discussion was about former Caps goalie Jim Carey, Devise.
Interestingly, there are now 43 players that have filed for arbitration in the NHL by today's deadline, and Tom Wilson is NOT one of them. The only Cap that filed for arbitration is Liam O'Brien, and I can't imagine that that arbitration case is going to make anybody lose sleep. I presume that Wilson didn't file because he sees promise in ongoing negotiations. Maybe a longer-term deal WILL be worked out with him.

:-\ My concern is Korn seems to be one of the few goalie coaches the Caps have had that has a good influence on Holts, thus my concern over coaching Holts. If it weren't obvious that Holts benefits greatly from Korns coaching style there would be no great concern.
and who's getting crazy??

I agree. Holtby is a different goalie with Korn around.
Devise:
I'm not saying he's not shown he's different when Korn has been around. However, I do think Holts isn't given enough credit for maturing. This feels like old water at this point. Like yes, when Trotz and co first showed up Holtby had a lot of goalie coach problems and re-figuring himself out to do. But that was 4 seasons ago. He's had Vezinas, deep playoff runs, clutch playoff performances, and now a Cup sense then.
At a certain point Holtby is going to turn into a Marty Broduer type here, and be the type of goalie that doesn't need to be babysat to help carry his team. I guess I just don't think Korn is nearly as important as he used to be, specific to Holtby.
