I think Stauber should get a legitimate shot. Let Ingram gain his confidence back in the AHL. He isn't an NHL level goalie right now. His stats are worse than Tristan Jarry's, who got waived earlier this year.

Neither Stauber or Villalta are the answer...they need to go and get a legitimate #1 goalie who is top 15 minimum in the league. Until that happens, we will never be able to play meaningful games that actually are meaningful (playoffs)

Average starter at best this season but with a track record that speaks for itself. If he was his normal season self the Rangers would be in a playoff spot.

Veggie is fine as our starter atm. It just shows that it doesn't matter who your G is if your team stinks like the Rags have

It matters if that starter plays well....and Shesterkin has been rather average. And when that starter takes up a lot of Cap you don't have money to protect them.

Cup contender? We need to make the playoffs first and before that almost make the playoffs. Wwe don't need to worry about being a cup contender anytime soon :)

I'm expecting us to be a cup contender in 3yrs...and well, Veggie isn't going to be a starter on a cup contender and well, and who knows if Hrabal will be any good or even make NHL, and so a big question exists on finding a top 10 goalie

Im still of the opinion that the UHC does not play good defensive hockey

I'm watching the Vancouver game and midway thru the 3rd the shots are 28-12 in Utah's favor. Seems to me SOG is a good measure of defensive effectiveness.

How many thought Adin Hill was a Cup contending goalie?

Many goalies in the League are now capable of winning the Cup, it depends so much more on how the team is built and the style they play. That changed with the Cap. You only have so much money to spend and many teams don't see the value in paying a high priced goalie, spending that money on rest of lineup instead. Those teams are competing for the Cup almost every year and winning fairly regularly. You don't need to have great goalie or even the best goalie to win, you just need a goalie who doesnt lose games for you and plays above average for a month.
 
Adin Hill has been above .915 save pct twice (2023 the Year Vegas won was one of those years)...that is pretty good and the barometer for goalies.

I think Veggie is at .910 right now, so that is good, and if we had as good a team as Vegas it would be enough to compete, but we're not and so you gotta have a goalie with a save pct above .915
