G Lukas Dostal - Anaheim Ducks, NHL (2018, 85th, ANA)

[JabbaJabba]

At this point I'd be surprised if they could afford the paperwork let alone the bonus money.

He'll take a hometown discount to play for Arizona and lift them to Stanley cup.

I just dont like his name

What can i do with Lukas Dostal

Since we already know that he's better than Rask, he should be known as LUUUKKKAS.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

First start, first win, third star in his debut tonight.





Proud of him. Looked completely unfazed by the moment, very quiet in his crease, outstanding rebound control on anything that hit him torso-high, showed some good instincts and puckhandling ability when he left his area. Pretty much everything you want out of a blue-chip goalie prospect, kid's got the ability to be a good one for a very long time.

Dostal just scored into an empty net to seal a 5-2 win in which he made 50 saves.

Coming on the heels of his first professional North American shutout on Sunday:



And his honor of being named the AHL's player of the week on Monday:



Been a pretty extraordinary 72 hours for him.

Kid is unreal…. Hopefully he’ll get some more nhl time this year

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Dude is a natural winner and a very skilled goalie. Ducks can comfortably trade Gibson

 

[Kalv]

You can just feel he's gonna be a gamer.

51 save and a goal, just after his first shutout in the previous game.
I've been telling this for years, he is something. Look at his performance in Finnish Liiga as a teenager, it was nothing short of outstanding. He keeps improving.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Not only is he quick and athletic in the net, but those quick twitch movements are also so controlled. A play like this is a great example, so many goalies would be toast after the initial slide on the pass.

Ya he’s looked pretty solid in his nhl games so far…. I’d love for us to get him a few more games, and hopefully have him in a 1a/1b situation next year… the market for gibson at the draft will prob be pretty good

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Has some offensive ability as well...

 

[lwvs84]

Ducks are hurting for goal scorers, Dostal just wants to show how well rounded he is

Finally found the shooter to play with Zegras.

Finally found the shooter to play with Zegras.

Or how Getzlaf can finish his career strong... "Getzlaf with a drop pass to... the goalie?"

Just bring back the Mighty Ducks jerseys with it.

Dostal 46 saves in an epic performance vs the Oilers.

[SmokeyDuck]

Hes been looking really good.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

people been sleepin on dostal as a goalie prospect…. He’s basically looked amazing at every level and seems just fine at the nhl .

unfortunately that gibson contract is prob unmovable now

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

At what point will he have to go thru waivers in order to be sent to the AHL? Next season? I never know that rule.... He's in his 3rd AHL season right now and will be 23 years old when next season starts

I realize that Gibson contract sucks for Dostal but from what I've seen this year in these Duck games, he's more than ready to stay in the NHL now

He looked outstanding last night wow

I think he was ready last season for back up duties, I was hoping we’d sell high on stolarz and bring dostal in to back up gibby.

Tough part is the team isn’t exactly good defensively, do we want to put him through that for an extended period of time. Seems like a very confident kid throughout his career would prefer not to mess that up if possible.

I think at this point we should be looking at what kind of deals we could move gibson in…. Retention + bringing in cap, to hopefully salvage some value

He is waiver exempt for one more season after this year. But with Stolarz about to be a UFA, Dostal will probably be our backup next year (at least he should be).

 

[Kalv]

He is looking good, but under our defense it's only a question of time when he breaks. I'm very ok to give Gibby and Stolarz all the chance to finish this season and bring in Dostal as a backup next year

What's the point of having Stolarz around rest of season? I guess hope he can bounce back enough for a late pick?

Is that worth sending Dostal down if he's playing great?

Depending on how long gibson/stolarz are hurt I expect one of them to get a conditioning stint in AHL to buy more time for stolarz, just like Schmid.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Ducks should dump Dostal to ahl or he is going to ruin their tank.
