Nashville Predators: Top Free Agent Goalies If Rinne Retires
By Rich Howe
Petr Mrazek / Carolina Hurricanes / 2020-21 Salary: $3,125,000
Poile seems to be serious about making the Predators a force to be reckoned with in the future. Having a couple of solid goaltenders on the roster who are both capable of starting on any given night sends a really good message.
Petr Mrazek is one part of the Hurricanes trio of highly capable and highly qualified goaltenders. While the Hurricanes opted for Alex Nedeljkovic for the majority of the playoffs, Mrazek did get the start in two playoff games this season.
Mrazek did have an off-year last season and spent the majority of it on the injured list. However, in his 12 games, Mrazek tallied six wins, a 2.06 GAA, and a .923 SV%. If he can remain healthy, he would be a great compliment to Saros.
Mrazek’s services will come with a larger price tag, but Poile should have enough in the coffers for a higher-priced goaltender that could bring excellent results to the club and give them 1A and 1B options at the goaltender position.
