McElhinney/Dubnyk unsigned. Wouldn’t mind either one as 3G. Don’t really trust Huska/Wall enough to step up if Shesty/Georgiev get injured. If Shesty gets hurt and we run Georgiev/Huska for a long period we’re screwed. McBackup is a good locker room guy and he’s someone that would be okay with playing in Hartford and getting a few NHL games if need be. Dubnyk is likely looking for a backup position somewhere so he’d be more unlikely

Edit- Vatanen is another one we should bring in on a PTO. He’s bad now but not too long ago he was a decent top 4 guy. Finnish vet for Kakko as well, and insurance just in case Nils doesn’t impress in pre-season and looks like he may need AHL time

Edit #2- I forgot about Kinkaid, exactly what I was describing

Completely forgot about him, he’s exactly what I was describing too
Kinkaid is a great locker room guy too, and I think we’d be in a good spot if there’s something like a goalie taxi squad as either Friedman or Seravalli alluded to on a recent podcast. A 50/50 share for Huska/Wall would be good for both of them in Hartford
