At least a little bit surprising to me, since as I mentioned in the Barracuda thread, the Cuda don't need a backup until Saturday and Wichita has three straight games from Wednesday to Friday coming up. But, the Thunder do have a third goalie on their roster that I just noticed, it's just that he's yet to make a single appearance this season.

I'm not watching Wichita or anything, but just a glance at their stats tells me Carriere's been outplaying Dell:
Carriere: 8 GP, 2.36 GAA, .930 SV%
Dell: 6 GP, 3.61 GAA, .884 SV%

They're probably just gonna send him straight to Canada for the 4 games so they don't have to worry about customs and borders n shit.

I know ahl has no roster max, but I believe they may require 2 goalies on roster minimum.

It could simply be for practice purposes as well.

Guessing the international/cross country travel was a bit much as the Cuda had two goalies. They'll be back Monday, before Sharks game.

I'd assume this is just a temporary transaction to activate Sturm. Doesn't necessarily mean Thompson is AHL-bound.

If the return of Pickles is imminent, it might mean he is actually headed to the 'Cuda.

Tough luck for Thompson. I hope he's back and in the Sharks lineup soon.

True, once Vlasic is officially back, that's a different story and Thompson may be the odd man out.

Right now I think Thompson just got sent down because we still need to carry three goalies until Vanecek's healthy. This transaction only leaves us with six healthy defensemen.
