No idea what Meriläinen done since the 2022 WJC and since OHL but, damn he looks soooo much faster, like, in everything.
Side to side movement, down up movement, how quickly he can close 5-hole.
He looks like a complete different goalie.
Watching tonights game vs Ilves.
14 saves in period 1

Saros was 2 years younger than Meriläinen, so it's not as impressive as this list makes it seem.

Just so we’re clear.
It was Filip Gustavsson as the future starter but he got Caught in the numbers game and Ottawa had a few other promising goalie prospects
Then Mads Søgaard played amazing and he was the future starter. But didn’t look great in the NHL.
And now Meralainen is the future starter, right?
Ottawa is an underrated goalie factory.
NONE of them stay with the team though.

I think this is just about every team. Goaltending is so much about what's between the ears that instead of scouting them by watching their play, you should get a psychiatrist to have a dozen sessions with them before drafting. And change the draft so that they're not available until they hit 20 years old.

Yeah - it sucks for some goalies because a lot don't start hitting their stride until their mid-twenties, by that time they have already been waiver eligible and teams have to make a decision regarding them because of it.

2 of the 3 goalies you mentioned are still with the Sens. What other goalies has Ottawa produced recently? Joey Daccord?

Wouldn't say all of them are "Recently" but Chris Dreidger, Ben Bishop, Robin Lehner, Filip Gustavsson are young goalies the Senators gave up on.
That list is probably better than most NHL teams in that time frame.

Very strong performance in his debut. Pleasantly surprised with just how well rounded he looked for a goaltender his age.

Looked really goid, not much he could have done on those two regulation goals (redirected/deflected). He’s also looked a lot calmer in the net than any vet Sens goalie in recent memory.

Small sample size and goalies are enigmas. So many examples of strong starts to careers to fall out of fan favor.
Interesting looking at his stats. When you watch his play so far in NHL you would think this is the guy that played in Liiga and is a top nhl goalie prospect. But his stats in North America makes you pause and demand greater sample size. I am a believer based on his style of play.
Ottawa needs him to be the former, given Linus’ injury history. Season is on his shoulders right now and he’s delivering. He will rack up the Ls if Ottawa doesn’t figure out its scoring.
