Sign. Every. Goalie.

I guess it doesn't really matter to him at all, because his path to the NHL is going to very very long anyway. Longer than the contracts they've got on the books. But man it's an awfully crowded situation to sign on to.


That's...7 goaltenders under contract now?


The prospect of working with Ian Clark certainly has to be an enticing one though. Weirdly, even before he came back though, Vancouver still seemed to be a bit of a "goaltender factory" even when Melanson was the guy.

Lots of time for this kid. He’s Young.

 

[Bottle Rocket]

Apparently he's got a good glove this Cy Young.

 

[hurdemz]

75 people have viewed his profile on elite prospects since this signing this is the only info I have on him.

This barely deserved a thread on the Canucks board Canucks sign WHL back up for some reason.

I'm a Vancouver fan and think this hardly deserved it's own post...

Woah

When you get a chance to sign a career .892 career save percentage, you do it.

I trust Ian Clark's judgment

 

[WetcoastOrca]

If Ian Clark thinks he’s worth it then I’m not going to argue. His track record at identifying talented netminders is impressive.

To be fair, in the past, Clark has also had the team do silly things like...signing his son to a contract. Despite him not really been any good.

The next Patrick Roy, mark my word

I know Morgan Clark was a nepo draft pick which is funny in and of itself, but he didn't ever sign.

Edit: it's also completely ruining my brain that Morgan Clark is already 33 years old. I guess they drafted him in 2008* but it feels like they drafted him like 5-10 years ago...

Yeah, i guess you're right. I could've sworn that they signed him to an AHL deal or something, but anyway. Funny footnote in Canucks draft futility over that era nonetheless. It certainly does feel like that was an eternity ago now.

Was one of the four goalies in Hockey Canada's U20 camp this summer.

Any chance he is invited to the final camp next month?

With the way he’s been playing this season, probably not.

Didn't realize he was struggling. Saw only his numbers and his team being in first place.

Case of a goalie being carried by his team infront of him rather than the other way around.

he's outplayed by their rookie goalie, and Brennan maybe back to PG, they still have an OA Spot. But he's still Young, and nearly every big name goalie in the WHL struggled a little bit this season

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Any word on his showing at development camp? Or of a team being interested in him as an overage goalie in either the CHL or USHL (assuming Ravensbergen is once again the starter in PG)?

I think he’s likely headed to the echl and will fill Zack Sawchenko’s role from last season.

Doesn't seem like the best route for a 20-year-old. Tyler Brennan played just 13 games for Devils' affiliate Adirondack last year.

Though on the plus side it would allow the Canucks to work more closely on his development.

Ravensbergen took the job as a kid still a full draft away from a kid that normally would be done his junior career. So, expect Ravensbergen to be the PG starter. So, it won't help Young to return to PG. He'd need to go somewhere else but which clubs would use one of their overage spots on a goalie?

Canucks would have to figure that out as well. Kalamazoo is their ECHL club, which is in Michigan. Not sure what kind of resource the Canucks or any NHL club dedicates to their ECHL affiliate?

Best case scenario is they find him a spot on either a BC, US, or AB WHL club for easier access for either Clark or the AHL goalie coach to check in on him from time to time.
