Whats the goalie split this year looking like?
- Thread starter TopG
- Start date
Both of them have extensive injury histories, so I would characterize watching either one do a split as “disconcerting”.
Our two primary guys are on one year contracts, so they may split after the season ends.

Andersen is on a 2 year contract.
Fine…he likes banana splits then.

Kochetkov 41 games, Perets 41 games. Tie for the Calder Trophy

I think both goalies are capable of putting up 70 points. They both are out there a lot on the pp.

Freddie will start 82 games. Pyotr and Raanta will each appear in 82 games but not start any.

It probably looks like granny's g string.
Old and something better not discussed....especially as a part of your fantasies.

I think Desrochers is the real deal and if Maurice had any sense he'd play our prospects in more games.

Andersen will win the Vezina so he will get the most starts by far.

They have to find one, and preferably not a place like Chicago where they will start a 28 year old journeyman over him. He’s not going to get better sitting in the press box and juggling playing time in practice with 2 other goalies.

Probably shouldn’t be too hard finding a team willing to take a goalie of his skill level.

I don’t know why any AHL team would want Koochie. If I was an NHL team I’d want to prioritize getting starts for my own prospects in the AHL. Worried Koochie might be put in a bad spot this year for getting consistent starts.

I’m not too familiar with every organizations goalie depth but there have been times in our past where it was pretty clear our ahl goalies didn’t have much of a future with our team. In a situation like that I’d gladly welcome an addition like Koochie to help stabilize the team and give them a better shot at winning which is good for all the prospects.

Problem with not having an AHL affiliate, why would ANY team prioritize our players over their own parent team's guys?

Pretty sure Kooch was a big fan favorite in Chicago. If the relations aren't too scorched between the Wolves and Canes I could see some incentive for the Wolves wanting to bring him back as an attraction.

Sounds like Koochie is going to Syracuse (Tampa’s farm team):
Makes sense. If Tampa needs to call up their 3rd string goalie, it at least gives Syracuse a legitimate starter and Kochetkov a place to play until Vasilevsky is healthy.

yep, these guys with Vasi's injury and the Wolves were the two obvious candidates, and the Wolves not only burned their bridge with us but decided to piss on the f***ing ashes.

I think the reason it's slightly interesting is because the team with the absolutely super stud goalie who now has a questionable back injury is now starting a guy in Syracuse who's likely better than any other goalie they have in the system. Yeah, he's ours. But as Tampa gets 20 games in looking at their AHL team have better goaltending than the big club... maybe they'll get jealous and try to make a move.
