Using goalie tarps is still frowned upon in the AHL, so Colorado needed a body. Although this could be a made up name and we just got duped.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

This is not the way

 

[Brodeur]

Colorado only had three goalies under NHL contract so it seemed eventual that they would sign/acquire somebody. I might have missed some depth guys and/or omitted them if they're signed but likely will be loaned to Europe this season, but here are some approximate depth charts:

Feels like they'll certainly try and bring Nabokov over to play in the AHL this season.

I thought I read that Nabokov had one more year left on his KHL deal.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I remember he had a hell of an NHL debut for Ottawa.

I mean so did Dylan Ferguson.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I mean so did Dylan Ferguson.

Lol, true. He had all around good numbers in his ~10 games of pro with the Senators.

Alnefelt signed over seas for a few years

 

[Jared Dunn]

This is the exact kind of trade I make in NHL 24, next up is ECHL defenceman + 6th for 5th

 

[Patagonia]

AVs with more G depth to change from a low 6th to high 7th round pick is a fantastic no risk deal. Don't know why the Sens made this deal.

Sometimes you just do a prospect a solid and move him elsewhere if you don't have plans for him. Sens have Mads Sogaard and Leevi Merilainen lined up for the AHL, so Mandolese (and his agent) probably appreciate a fresh start elsewhere where he can play in the AHL instead of the ECHL. Maybe Ottawa can sign somebody else to replace Mandolese as well?

Understood, but given the shortage of G throughout the league this was a straight dump.

 

[sensfan4lifee]

We mine as well just rebuild again at this point

 

[AslanRH]

Draft all the goalies, now trade for more.
I was entertained by the clips from that Goalie scrimmage on twitter and apparently the Avs FO did too.

DET: Husso - Talbot - Lyon - Cossa - Campbell - Gylander - Alexander

Red Wings had Lyon, Talbot, Campbell and talent Cossa.

Husso off.

Husso trade for a talent or for 1st round talent next year.
