2024/2025 Around the League

I mean, they simply don't have an alternative.

But yeah, dude is Leclaire 2.0.

I see the rationale for this season at his <800K contract. However, they went ahead and extended the guy prior to him showing he isn't a complete bandaid for 3.67M. Unnecessary.

The Avs goalie situation next year will be…interesting

As long as we have a couple of 2nd round picks or at least 1 first round pick we will get our next goalie from the East Coast again. Hopefully one of Rangers, Isles, Caps or Devils will have 1 goalie available for us.

That I agree with, they should not have done that, but I think their rationale was that they'd either get a legit franchise goalie at a discounted price or his body explodes and he's grist for the LTIR wheel.

Sigh, it's going to be Korpisalo.

Kill me now. Only thing worse than him would be Groob coming back.

I'm still weirded out they traded for a 2nd rounder this year and then...used it.

I actually have some hope for Annunen, but that may be out of pure desperation looking at the market.

How come no one ever mentions Trent Miner?!?!

 

[LOFIN]

Woll is hurt AGAIN?

You gotta jettison this guy. You can't hope and pray a guy who has had an absurd amount of injury problems will magically be healthy at the most important time of the year.

I feel bad for Woll but this is hilarious as a Leafs hater

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

There will be other options, including keeping Georgiev, but I fear they will go with a Nabokov/Cheeks combo, and then sign a vet 3rd goalie to have just in case.

Excellent news for Stolarz owners

Just tried to go grab him off waivers, but someone claimed him before I did.

No way will they go with Nabokov in 2025. If nothing else he'll make the jump to North America and play for the Eagles, but even that isn't a guarantee.

Unless Annunen has an absolutely atrocious season he'll probably be back...as a backup. Once again they'll have to find a stopgap measure of some kind, no idea who but it'll likely be some journeyman or young backup from somewhere else.

Only ones I'd be pissed off about would be Korpisalo, Grubauer, or Talbot. The rest would probably be different shades of amusement and disappointment.

 

[Ceremony]

We'll be starting Nabokov next year and then in eight years time we'll be having a Shesterkin moment trying to get him re-signed when he wants 20 million a year.

BY THE WAY

Kinda curious that it wasn't Matt Murray that's called up, but Dennis Hildeby

 

[The Moops]

Is there a contract you don't lol at?

I bet there's one...

He could still start Thursday. I hope....My IR slots are already full from stashing Luke Hughes and Landeskog.

IR means out minimum 7 days

Can't they retroactive him to an earlier day?

I'm talking about goalies, not a dark hole in the ground?

That's loyalty

Wonder if they could pull a RyJo 2.0 and trade for Elvis at 50%

Not that yummy looking...
