Re: What does the future hold for Pekke Rinne??
If you're ignoring the injury risk, then yes Rinne is a top 10 goalie I would think. If healthy, he'll start 65+ games, get 30+ wins with good peripherals and he's always good for shutouts. Regardless how good the Preds are, Rinne gets a ton of starts normally and they'll be good enough for him to hit 30 wins.
But I just don't know if you can totally ignore the injury risk. Hips are a pretty important part of a goalie's body....lots of goalies never return to their former level after hip issues. So I don't know, I'd just be cautious with Rinne. Would I draft him as a top 10 goalie? Probably not. Does he have the ability to be one? Yes, definitely.
