varlamov has hardly played.

I like Craig Anderson as the third U.S. goalie over Quick.

Does Howard prefer to be called Jimmy? Doesn't seem like a hockey player to me..

hes Jim here in detroit. but i watched him as a grand rapids griffin, where he was known as Jimmy. so, for me, its Jimmy, and always will be Jimmy.

craig anderson is awesome though, and i, too, would rather him be the number 3 us goalie over quick.

I know he is eligible, but this is the 4th year in a row he's played. He played the last 3 seasons.

in the AHL. i think he had played what? less then 10 NHL games in those 4 years?

_________________

4 games the first year, then 1, then 4 again. Only 9 total, but that's still the NHL for 3 years prior to this. Nit-picky, sure, but....

well, miller was the same way...
pominville
roy... same way. i know what ya mean though.

Varlamov won't be eligible this year.

I believe you have to play at least 40 games to not be considered a rookie in one year.
