Yeah that's what I was saying but it was phrased a bit weirdly.Petruzelli was only signed to an AHL deal, not NHL.. so any NHL team could sign him as a UFA if they wanted to.
He will be playing in Sweden.Hildeby the #1 and Murray as Back-up.
This is the year!
Man oh man this did NOT age well.
THN does this for lots of teams. Keep up.Man oh man this did NOT age well.
5 years and still looking for a 1st round win.
We have a group of decent goalie prospects and I'd lump him in there, no one really stands out.
If he puts up the same sort of numbers this year with a larger sample size, easily yes.
Nobody really knows who the top goalie prospect is. The answer probably would have been Petruzelli but management seems pretty high on Hildeby to not only draft him in round 4 when he was eligible in 2019 but to sign him less than a week after drafting him. He's not signed to an NHL deal like Petruzelli but Dryden Mckay is also interesting.
We don't really have a top level goalie prospect so if he performs at a high level this year as a starter in the SHL he would quickly become our top goalie prospect.
Amazing that a guy who retired is in the plans.Don't forget that the Leafs acquired Carter Hutton a few months ago. He's in contention to be Murray's backup.
He's 100% gonna be the backup. Färjestad just brought in a new starter for this season.We don't really have a top level goalie prospect so if he performs at a high level this year as a starter in the SHL he would quickly become our top goalie prospect.
Yes and both GM and HC wants to have a clear #1 goalie instead of a "tandem" which has been the case for a number of years now where the #1 will get the vast majority of the starts. Look for Hildeby to get perhaps 10% starts at the most if there are no injuries.He's 100% gonna be the backup. Färjestad just brought in a new starter for this season.
Sounds like fascism to me.Never gets old
True if only we rid it of leaf fans… then it would be a hockey paradise

He's too old to slide, so this is odd.Signing an elc doesn’t automatically mean he is coming over. Could be loaned back to his Swedish club and have the contract slide.
But then there wouldn't be any fun leftNever gets old

You mean Tomkins before he was told that he would be replaced in Frölunda even though he played great and then afterThat depends on which Tomkins we are gonna see. If it’s the Tomkins before new year Hildeby won’t see much gametime but if it’s the Tomkins after new year Hildeby has every chance in the world to make the spot his.
Zegs2sendhelp get banned or his account deleted for that last comment? his profile is literally gone lolSounds like fascism to me.
He went through a bit of a mid/late season lul but seems to have found his game. Definitely think he has a future in the NHL. Whether that is as a starter or a backup I am not sure, but he has the tools to play.Haven't followed the AHL all that closely but this guy stopped 36 of 37 shots for the Marlies last night and has won 20 games in 38 appearances in his first season in North America.
He turns 23 this summer. Is there something to his game?
