Value of Backstrom (MIN)

Very insightful Mike. I actually have to agree. When looking at numbers from that perspective, Schneider is easily the better pickup. I also think Mike Smith may fly under the radar a bit. We will see if Bryz was a product of Phoenix's defense or if we was just that good. If he was a product of their defense, Mike Smith could be the sleeper goalie of the year (there is always one). Dave Tippett really likes him too from his time in Dallas. Don't be surprised to see Smith much improved on a weak Phoenix team.

Ended up getting backstrom, but I think I have a deal lined up to flip him for Halak.
