Interesting....they obviously see something beyond the save percentage.

I mean Quapp is really fun to say

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

[LakeLivin]

Ladies and gentlemen, your Gargoyles.

 

[tarheelhockey]

We signed a goalie named Quapp who’s the worst player in Germany.

This is a ****ing EA Sports CPU transaction.

 

[HisIceness]

His stats are uh, concerning.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Goalies are voodoo. Who knows? Place him in the ECHL and see what happens.

 

[Stanky and Janky]

Didn't expect him to ever get signed. Neat, I guess.

 

[Tryamw]

Why??? I R confuzed

Oh so the dunking test

I mean, ok? Like I feel like Perets is probably 2x the goalie he is? At least stat-watching, but it's hard to think a goalie with stats that poor in a league that far down the list could become all that much? Feels like a hundred 20-22 UFA goalies that are probably better?

 

[Chrispy]

He's a cheap goalie for Greensboro who has a remote chance to develop. The goalie depth for next year was

Andersen
Kochetkov
Khazheev

That's it.

Perets is an RFA, Martin and Tokarski are UFA.

They need multiple people to play goalie in Greensboro.

Iirc there was also another goalie coming over from the K, haven't seen an official release on that yet

Good. That would make 5 goalies in the organization.

They still need a reliable #3, so going cheap on ELC for the other 3 means they can pay up more for that #3 / starter in Chicago.

 

[Stanky and Janky]

Tulsky just found another obscure loophole like when we signed fringe prospect Bryce Montgomery before the season to maximize cap. We actually get exclusive negotiating rights with Mitch Marner for this. You wouldn't think so, but it's right there in the CBA plain as day.

 

[User13452]

Might be a good year to finally use a early pick on a young goaltender we’re severely lacking in the goaltending prospect department

 

[baconandbread]

He had some decent moments for Germany one year at the World Juniors iirc....let's hope for some goalie Voodoo.

 

[bleedgreen]

El Quappo

He has a plethora of sweaters.

Miftakhov is rumored to be signing with the Canes, as well. He may be the #3 or #4 next year.

I don't know, I hope he's better the Quapp.... His stats look pretty Quappy without actually having seen him.
