I heard Rossi took a hooking penalty early in the 1st, and was done for the night. Maybe he's Evason's new whipping boy, since Fiala is gone.

1. No more buyouts. We have enough dead cap as it is.

2. The last thing you do is bring Wallstedt up and destroy his confidence and progress with the shit show in front of him. He needs at least a year in Iowa. Never rush a goalie.

3. The goaltending is only half of our problems.


We're resting our 4th line for the postseason. :thumbu:

For (3), I’d argue goaltending is probably closer to 80% of the problem. Fleury’s got something like -7 goals saved above expected.

Full tank in the works. Kap is already asking for a trade. Bedard is in our sights. Lets start 4-16-5 and then start trading lmfao at Minny sports.
 
Putting young developing players in to the dog booth is a slippery slope. There’s a risk of turning them into players that dread mistakes and use all their concenration on playing the ”right way” and kill all the creativity in their game. Evason is a dinosaur and I for one hate how he treats some of the players, while looking the other way for others.

Agreed - I don't think people realize to the extent that goaltending makes defense look bad. Not only has Fluery not made any high danger saves, but his rebound control on non-high danger saves has compounded situations.

Last year Talbot was -17.5. It didn't look this bad because the defense was very good. Now both are bad and it looks MUCH worse!

Moneypuck has him at a -5.8 GSAE last year (-0.121 per 60), Fleury was actually -17.6 GSAE last year (4th worse in the league).

Giving Fleury that extra year pissed off Talbot and forced us to get rid of the better goalie. I'd be a lot more comfortable if we could lean on Talbot right now rather than Gus.
