Columbus Discovers Brathwaite
The Blue Jackets signed goalie Freddy Brathwaite to a one-year deal to be Marc Denis’ back-up. This season, while the Blues, Brathwaite’s old team, were hemorrhaging goalies, the only real constant in net was Brathwaite. The Blues paid back Brathwaite’s talent and loyalty by dumping him at the trade deadline to make room for Chris Osgood. And we all know how that Osgood-Brent Johnson tandem worked out for the Blues.
Denis played 77 games for the Blue Jackets this season. I’m hoping Brathwaite will see more than five games worth of action. He’s a strong goalie. And good enough to be a number one somewhere. He’s not a back-up. I’m not even sure why he’s taking the back-up gig. But the Blue Jackets lucked out. They have a great goalie. They just better treat him right.
