Pretty nice stats for someone in a competitive league. Interesting for sure.

Good that they addressed the AHL veteran backup stuff early this time, they learned from their mistake.

Yup, and a possible replacement if one of Monty or Primeau get injured. This was team need. Not a flashy type need but a need regardless. Someone to help Dobes and better depth for injuries.
I feel like this is closer to a rich man Mann type signing than an actual proven vet signing.
This past year was a career by far from him and he was still platooning the goal with two other guys until the playoffs.
Interesting bet for sure, but I would still keep a few vets on speed dial.

I expected them to just keep Kaskisuo in that role, but he might be looking at going back to Europe I guess. We definitely need a good veteran goalie backup in Laval, Dobes is still very young and he can't be starting every game. If Hughes can be around league average stat wise, he'll do the job just fine.

Hopefully this works. Dobes started off so terribly and then really settled down.

Kent continuing with the nepotism I see...
Jokes aside interesting career path. Good size too. I trust our goalie scouts.

weird career path. JR A. to tier 2 Swiss pro league
interesting signing. hope he brings stability to the Rocket net with Dobes.

No official announcement re Kaskisuo yet.
Marcotte saying that the org doesn’t think Kaskisuo did enough to deserve an NHL deal. A user suggesting that maybe CU is replacing Strauss Man?

Watching Lausanne in the playoffs I thought Hughes had really some great moments. Great reflexes. good puck awareness. I think my problem with him is that he moves a lot in front of his net. But he,s a big guy. Can't wait to see him play!

I guess they could still sign Kaskisuo and send the one of the two who does the worst at camp to TR, Mann isn't coming back anyway.

Habs are hoping there is another Stewart Skinner out there to lead them to the SCF.
That's too bad. Kasimir is a great name!

Worth a shot I guess. If he doesn't work out in the AHL, no big deal.

I imagine they'll cut bait with Kaskisuo and have Hughes play often enough that they can reduce Dobes' workload
Most goalies are late bloomers, I like taking a chance on this type of player.
