Boston's back up next year?

[jman]

Who is likely Boston's back up next season? I believe that Johnson's contract is up?...

It's going to be tough with the flooded goalie market but Johnson could be in for a raise from another team (plus better opportunity). He might stick around too since he was a good fit in his role. Goalie movement is tough to predict so I'm tempted to think he stays. If he goes then Svedberg could be the guy next year.

ditto - Svedberg will be the guy if Johnson goes. It will be an interesting goalie market this summer. Not sure if Johnson sticks around if there is any other opportunity for him, don't think he wants to be stuck behind Rask for too long.

They will re-sign Johnson to another one-year deal. If he can repeat his numbers again similar to this past season he'll have two years sample size of those numbers to secure a better contract.
