I think no, what about you guys?

I voted yes.

Montoya (despite an awesome start) cannot realistically be considered for the #1 job, if he has a really good camp, the #2 job (as long as they give him more than 10 -15 starts so that he can actually develop) is feasible (his size, performance and time in the ranks justify giving him a shot)

Tjordman is an intriguing prospect with a lot of upside but why would we rush him at this stage?

We no longer have a realistic #2 why would GMDM take the risk of not having a true NHL goalie in at least one of the spots with this team that is on the cusp of breaking thru to the post season? I see Bryz in his spot for at least the majority of the season at minimum. I see GMDM adding another goalie to the mix and maybe hoping for a Craig Anderson or Chris Mason type lightning to strike and give us an extra kick at the back end of the season.

We don't have to rush our up and coming goalies anymore, hell, we don't have to rush youngsters period anymore. We've got a LOT of pieces to the puzzle in place now and can now develop the right way. I totally believe that the 09 Coyotes will have a really different look and feel but Bryzzie is totally still a huge part of the plan (unless GMDM slinks his way into another steal of the century at goal).

I say yes, BRYZ was great, sure he had nights where he let us down, but so did the players, they weren't perfect either, I'd give Montya the backup job n keep BRYZ at least another season, he'll be better next season

Bryzgalov will be given every opportunity to be the starter here. If the team goes in the "Craig Anderson" direction that's cool and all, but I really think that Al Montoya did a remarkable job and should be "the guy" to give Bryzgalov the push if he hasn't run out of waiver options yet.

I can't give much insight into who backups and such should be since I didn't see much of the Coyotes. But, from what I did see, Bryzgalov played very well, and should remain the starter next season.
