from the Delco Times,
With assurances that he still believes Niittymaki “is a good young goalie,” Holmgren said he plans to qualify him this summer as the backup, which would pave the way for Robert Esche’s departure. But Holmgren has also qualified that statement by saying he’s still open to Esche returning, if only because Niittymaki might opt to play in Europe.
That’s where the real question burns for Niittymaki, who went from puzzled to peeved Tuesday when that “European Option” was offered up as a topic of interest.
“I don’t know where all this Europe bull came from,” Niittymaki said sharply. “Everybody keeps telling me that I’m going to Europe. That it’s my option. But I don’t know what to say about that right now. I don’t think Homer asked me about it ..he said it’s my option….”
