After signing #1 goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Anaheim Ducks General Manager Brian Burke expected backup goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov, who is very capable of being a starter, to make a request or demand to be traded. But that never happened. "Talk about giving credit to this kid," Burke said of Bryzgalov, a 27-year-old Russian taken 44th overall in the 2000 Entry Draft.
But for now, Bryzgalov will be the starter for the Ducks, as Giguere is recovering from a sports-related hernia surgery. Once Giguere comes back, though, there may be a trade involving him.
