Arvid coming Holm.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I like these type of signings. Pretty good upside, not much cost.

 

[DamonDRW]

the goal is to have 23 active goalies on the roster by the year 2030.

The Wings obsession with Swedes is pretty interesting

Who is second? Vancouver?

I would say so. I think Tampa also has a number of Swedes all the time

 

[M Ace]

Where were the Oilers on this one…?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

The name sounded familiar, Avs had him in the AHL and he sucked.

There’s 2 Arvid’s in the NHL now?

Not really. I guess Hedman has made it look that way for you.

 

[Oddbob]

Well I guess the 26 Cup is Detroit's now.

Wings are going to be the first team in NHL history to have 5 goalies on the active roster

The Nordiques (so basically the Avs) had Tim Thomas drafted and you can’t convince me otherwise that this will turn out exactly the same for us as it did with Thomas and Boston

Who names their kid Arvid??

This comment reeks of not being able to see outside your own borders.

In 2023 it was the 26th most popular boys name in Sweden. It's a pretty traditional Scandinavian name.

And an Arvidsson

Well, he's the lesser of the tall Swedish goalies named Arvid, but he was free so you cant complain. SHL goalie of the season is nice, but a year ago he was spending time in the ECHL so...I'm not sure you would expect much more than an AHL backup.

Lyon is off the books, I doubt Gage Alexander is re-signed and Augustine is staying at MSU (thankfully) - so...

Mrazek
Talbot
--------
Cossa (AHL)
Holm (AHL)
--------
Gylander (ECHL)

...looks to the depth chart for 25-26. Perfect world...Cossa pushes a declining Talbot out the door / buried in the AHL, by mid-season.

Can Detroit do the right thing and collect all the Arvid(ssons)’s
