Rumors Proposals Thread Post Deadline Apocalypse 3rd Times A Charm Stu Stu Stupider Management May the Schwartz be with You

The problem isn’t that they didn’t get a goalie at the deadline, as the options were just about none. It was the failure in the nine months leading up to that point in getting one.

You don't know that the options were just about none. Just because certain goaltenders weren't moved or weren't talked about being moved doesn't mean they weren't available. Nobody knew Spencer Knight was even available and he was moved.

The organization made it known that goaltending was not a priority and we know they wasted a lot of time trying to get Rantonen. I doubt any genuine attempts were made at even finding out what goaltending options were actually out there.

Point is they’ve needed to upgrade their goaltending for a while now, and there were a lot more available options in the last nine months than there were in the last week.

No question about that.

Swayman is not a good goaltender. He was hidden behind a good defense in Boston. This year, hes being exposed.

But somehow top-5 in the NHL in goals saved above expected/60 the 2 prior years?

I'm not buying it.
