What you said does have merit. Bryz commands very high trade value and Ducks pretty much let him go for free. Phoenix is kicking some serious ass now.
Bryz was in goal for Phoenix a few nights ago visiting Anaheim. There was a pre-game tribute for Bryz on the video display. Most of the fans gave him a standing O.

Phoenix has won a few in a row and he's undefeated. I thought Anaheim's goalie tandom was like that of San Jose's with Vokoun and Toskala; Toskala carried San Jose as well, but they lost eventually. But now we have the bad luck of finding out Toskala is nothing like Bryzgalov, and not even close
.
Ottawa is in a similar situation right now, they have two outstanding goalies. But the problem is this, its their playoff run this year as well, do they trade a goalie or do they keep both incase one of them turns soft? I'm going with the latter, it doesn't hurt them to keep both goalies and they don't really need anything in return, they have amazing fowards and really good defence. Bringing in a new face might even hurt their longtime chemistry.
