Quadraton

I don't quite see signing Hasek as necessarily a bad thing. The price is cheap for what Hasek has commanded in the past (although, it's still more than they would have paid had they resigned Lalime), and if something does happen to Hasek this year, he'd make a great goaltender coach for Prusek, who plays in a similar style as Hasek, and is a Czech too.

The only downside would be if he turns prima dona like he did in Buffalo, and to a lesser extent in Detroit. But, if he manages to bring the Cup home to a Canadian team, I'm sure that will go a long way to making people forget what he can be like.

[edit:] I say cheap, but that only takes into consideration his base salary of $2 million. Of course, if he can prove himself, then he gets all sorts of bonuses, but that's better than paying everything up front, and ending up with nothing.
