I agree with Lance

 

[Jim Bob]

I like Comrie's AGH set and mask.

 

[Zman5778]

I haven't seen one actually move. And of that list, I'd be shocked if more than one of them moved.....I expect none of them to actually be moved.

SPOILER: None of them actually moved.

Teams carrying three goalies:

Buffalo
Montreal (Allen, Montembeault, Primeau)
Detroit (Husso, Reimer, Lyon)
Los Angeles (Copley, Talbot, Rittich)
Philadelphia (Hart, Ersson, Sandstrom)

Did I miss any teams?

I'm sure the Lightning were counting on one of these goalies getting waived and at least a couple of these teams are hoping the Lightning make a good offer.

Not a single good goalie on the list, maybe only Hart.

Colorado recalled Annunen, so they are also carrying three goaltenders.

It's still absolutely insane to me that Levi is going to start in the NHL with zero AHL time. Just hang the kid out dry behind and porous defensive team and hope he can hang in there. He's a great goalie prospect....but this isn't development, it's a hail mary.

he's better than the alternatives

That is a large part of the problem. That is a management issue leading to a the solution at goaltending is crossing your fingers and REALLY hoping Levi can be a starter right out of college.

Adams' only glaring shortcoming is our current goaltending situation and it is a whopper. It's not too late for him to fix it, but he is running out of time.

 

[Mattilaus]

Is Carolina keeping 3 or did they send Kochetkov down? Isn't he on a one way deal?

They loaned him to AHL Syracuse.

Also, Rittich (LA) on waivers today

I guess they just need to wait a couple weeks till Freddy goes down with injury anyways.

A one-way deal doesn't stop them from sending him down to the A

I know that but most teams are not okay with paying their AHL goaltender 2 million a year. Additionally, you have to think the goaltender is not happy about it either.

This isn’t a positive thing.

Yeah…

that top 4 D still isn’t here as they sit with the second most cap in the league.

Olofsson is still here to tank Cozens year too.

That defensive center they have needed…not here.

and, obviously the goalie problem you acknowledge

YEARS of known issues. No attempt to fix any of them.

I think he understands the situation being waiver exempt and lets be honest, one of Freddie/Raanta will be hurt in no time.

Not a miss, but how the hell is Dustin Wolf not on the Calgary roster? I get that he's only 22, but he really has nothing more to prove in the AHL.

Markstrom and Vladar are there ... word is the Flames are/were looking to deal Vladar

 

[oldgoalie]

assuming that Levi get the start opening night?

Yes

If Adams' plan is to extract maximum value out of a UPL trade return... It's a bad strategy.

Is a R3 pick really much more valuable than a R4 or R5 at this point?

It's clear that he isn't ever going to be the guy on this team. If you're going to throw Levi to the wolves - at least create a stable environment around him. The best we can do at this point is have Comrie there (he's played the #2 role behind Hellebuyck) & have no messy three headed monster.

I doubt that is their plan. I think they want UPL to be Levi's partner over the medium term since he is under team control beyond this season and Comrie is not.

The Flames did not want to carry three goalies. There are reports that they were shopping Vladar without any takers. But, I also wonder if they valued the depth they have in goal with Wolf in the AHL and able to come up if Markstrom or Vladar get hurt.
