I'm for as many resources available in our system as possible.
Fogarty to me is a depth-signing. Still has time to put it together, but there are a lot of options ahead of him at this point.

I don't really have an opinion on the AHL goalie coach. Good, I guess. If Allaire likes him I'm fine with that.
When the news about Fogarty was reported a week or so back, I was surprised. I still think he finds a career for ~200 NHL games, but I thought we would let him walk and find that career elsewhere. I mean he's a useful player in that he's very good defensively, but the offense never came around, at all. And to think he was an offense-first prospect who wanted to learn to play some defense when he went to the BCHL back in the day.

Fog is very good at what he is good at, that is always something. Needs to find a role in the NHL that enables him to play to his strength.
As it is, very very few guys plays that role in the NHL. If anyone? Coaches prioritize skating. But like, who knows. All of a sudden someone like Fogarthy has success as a LW next to like Chytil and Kravtsov (obviously playing a defensive role and taking some FOs). But it will take a lot, both from him and in terms of circumstances otherwise.
