Since taking over the starting role Thomas Greiss has shined between the pipes. His three year $10 million contract is well deserved.
For the majority of the season Greiss outplayed Jaroslav Halak. The only issue was for the first part of the year former coach Jack Capuano kept running Halak out there over Greiss.
On the year Greiss is 14-7-3 with a .928 sv% and a 2.25 GAA. It’s pretty fair that he will get a nice raise to an AAV of $3.3 million.
