So this means Kasimir won't be back. Interesting that they even see him in the AHL or ECHL given he has never played North American pro as far as I can tell. Heck he never even played major junior or US college hockey. One big season last year seems to have gotten him this chance.

Really?
21-22
Fribourg NL 9 gp 3.56 0.871
Geneve NL 2 gp 2.00 0.920
Sierre SL 5gp 3.20 0.899
22-23
Fribourg NL 36 gp 2.32 0.907
21-22 are pretty mediocre numbers and 22-23 are average/below average.
He had very good numbers in the Champion League though.

Good vet presence.Would he accept to be a backup in the AHL ? 8M is a lot, for that.
Bring back goalie fights!

Looks like a good depth signing. We need it. Hopefully this works out & we have 2 good goalies in Laval.

Can't really see him as the AHL 2nd goalie unless Hughes strikes out on someone better, ECHL written all over it at this point in time.

Just checked on Cap Friendly, even though it is a 2 way contract he will get $775,000 whether he plays in Montreal, Laval or TR. This could change if there are more details coming later. If true, it is not a show me type contract.

I was going to say the next Cristobal Huet ? Funny that he’s been actually coach by him
The details are placeholders. Wouldn't put any value on them yet.

An experienced goalie to support Dobes was to be expected, but it's a good signing only if he's actually any good.
Stat reading doesn't indicate Hughes is particularly proven at pro level.

Hughes says he was watched and contacted by a Habs scout during playoff finals. Then heard nothing until he was offered a contract two weeks ago.
He also says that Laval is perfect for him firstly because it's close from Montreal and secondly because his wife has family in Ottawa.

It's a joke, we signed that goalie Demchenko or whatever out of Russia a few years back and people thought it was a precursor to a trade.
