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.

And I suppose with the team being at home this week until the weekend, and the Barracuda off and then at home, if anything comes up suddenly where they need another d-man, they can recall Thompson pretty much immediately.

So no goalie trade imminent

I'm so excited for Asky to be back full time. Just the taste we got in the last week was incredibly fun.

You're right about him being an adventure out there. The one play where he went behind the net during regular DZ play happened so fast my dad didn't even see it... I said "holy shit did you see that? Askarov just played the puck behind the net."

Love his press answer about sometimes good sometimes shitty. Reminds me of this all time great Gattuso quote.

He's incredibly funny and entertaining both on and off the ice. I already love this dude.

He is obsessed with playing the puck, it's absolutely terrifying, but he's also pretty damn good at it. He's capable of simply stopping the dump and chase in its tracks, which really forces the other team to possess the puck and limits the forecheck's effectiveness.
