A 17 yr old DiPietro took the spot of a 19 yr old in Windsor winning the memorial cup; it happens. The next season as an OA, that goalie back stopped Kitchener to a conference final with a 0.919 SV%.
Elliot is a perfect 12-0 in two major junior leagues this season, hard to pick apart perfect imo. Good OAs get waived due to roster constraints, see Loshko waived through the Q.

He has a total of 4 playoff wins for two 100+ point teams. THAT is the number everyone seems to ignore.

Keep ignoring it. See what happens.

Ottawa proved that you can have above-average but not great goaltending and still win making your goalies look like stars and even first-round NHL picks

All good defensive teams need is the goalie to make that first stop of a shot tht is outside the box.

As to Boyd learning frm Mav that is all anyone needs to Know and it is not a good thing.

Mav was a firm believer in not playing your first-round pick much and then trading him to another team for a rental so that you made the playoffs and got the extra 2=3 game receipts.

If Boyd goes down that road, season ticket holders will revolt because it is not worth it. Boyd would be better off taking advice from Killer (), not because Killer knows about today's hockey, but because his advice would be better than anything Mav would have told him.

I think Boyd understands the cycle. The question out there right now based on some insight from others is that next year no matter what is a rebuild. Sell Mews and Marrelli. SO, may as well push some assets in this year and run with Pinelli in his last year. I can understand the logic. I just don’t think we are strong enough to pull it off. I would rather move Pinelli this year and Mews next year (or both this year if Mews is adamant about it). Then don’t move anyone else. Stay somewhat competitive at the bottom of the standings and retool. I think we have a lot of really solid young players that could be special in a few years. The added assets we receive will only help that next cycle.

It doesn't work, but hey, go for it. Just watch the fans disappear.
