Giving Rask his big money contract meant there wasn’t room for Anton Khudobin, who made the Bruins one of the best tandems in the league.  Rask is elite, one of the top 3 goalies in the division, but the drop-off is dramatic and like Montreal, there will be trouble if the number 1 goes down.  Johnson simply doesn’t have enough NHL time (10 career games) to know what you really have in him.
