41 Saves in a 3-1 win tonight! If the Ducks can start scoring more, they can maybe put together a decent season but there is still too much inconsistency.
Is Lukas Dostal Quietly Elite?

HF Sportsbook has been reset for the new season - Click here to play.
Ducks have been outshot 245-186 (106-58 high danger) in Dostal's 7 starts.
To say he's carrying this team right now is kind of an understatement.

The team needs to start giving him better defending or pay him more
He's going to be broke or in debt by the end of this season.
Dostal has been the only consistent bright spot for the Ducks this season so far. There's no way he keeps up these numbers for a whole season, but it's fun while it lasts. Hopefully he won't be completely destroyed playing behind this team.

Yeah, like are the Sharks the only team the Ducks have outplayed this entire season?
The second game against the Sharks (first was probably pretty even) and Utah probably (ironically probably Dostal's worst game). They've shown flashes, they had a great stretch against the Rangers. At some point the offense will probably get going, unfortunately it's usually as goaltending starts declining. This team hits a LOT of posts relative to the number of shots they take.

Sure, but nonetheless it looks like the Ducks are very bad in advanced metrics and are getting their asses saved by Dostal. Where do you expect to finish in the standings?
As far as Dostal will carry them
I think they finally get out of the bottom 5, probably around 6 or 7th overall pick before lottery? If they can be close to or out of the bottom 10 this year, that will be a big step forward. If Cronin can find lines that click and change the way the offense is run, Ducks can probably do a little better than that 6-7 range. If he doesn't adapt and they keep getting caved in, it'll be another bottom 5 finish (barring Vezina level goaltending)

Very similar to how Gibson started like 3 season in a row before wearing out. Hopefully Dostal has more gas in the tank.

Ducks need to figure themselves out and Cronin is not the answer. Carlsson and Terry who have been the main offense should both be a PPG now, if this system wasn’t so bad.
every metrics suggest he’s been nothing short of elite so far. If he can somehow keep 85%-90% of that pace, he’ll be in Veniza contention.
If he can somehow magically keep that pace all year then just hand him the Vezina after the 82th game.

Ducks' goalie dev system is quietly elite. I'd want to steal him or Ian Clark over stealing star players from those teams. IMO, your team would have a goalie factory if you picked up one of those guys.
Whether Dostal is elite or not, I'm not sure yet. But if there's any org that would give him the best chance of accomplishing that level of performance, Ducks certainly have the right dev program to increase his chances.
