Did Khabby deserve the loot?

I get one upped all the time on the blogosphere for quality of posts -- be it from guys who I agree with or vehemenently disagree with...

A great example of being one upped is Jes Golbez post over at Hockey Rants about Nikolai Khabibulin. I said in a short piece I'm not crying over Khabby's loss... Jes goes further - comparing age and stats between Jocelyn Thibult and Khabibulin as well as some other commentary on Bill Wirtz "Throw money at the wall and see what sticks" approach to rebuilding as well as Khabbies strengths and weaknesses.
