Its not only his age, but his declining stats. He was among the worst goalies in GAA and save% who played more than 40 games. 2) Its also uncertain what kind of a backup he'd be. Kolzig hasn't played that role in a dozen years. On the positive side, outside of recent events, he is a good team guy, who won't hurt the locker room. He certainly won't hurt any organization from an off the ice perspective (Ray Emory). His second half before the Huet run, was actually fairly decent, but unspectacular. Our guess is he signs a 1 year incentive laden deal with a team like Ottawa or LA. We at FAUXRUMORS wish Olie well whatever he decides/happens. 1) While their certainly is a market for starting goalies in the NHL, its doubtful that a contending team will sign Olie to a contract to be their starter.

Thanks for the many great memories of saves made and thanks for your class and generosity. ..... "He was a soldier of Rome, honor him" .... ..."Who will help me carry him"... As I say you will truly be missed. Best of luck Olie, you will be missed. Thanks for the many great memories of saves made and thanks for your class and generosity. …..
“He was a soldier of Rome, honor him” ….
