Let Turcotte center Fiala and PLD a few games. Love Laf but it won’t hurt for him to sit and watch the game at this level for a few games. Even a back to back situation.
Hope the guy pans out and has a long NHL career. Even as a 1B or backup. We really have had nothing in our system goaltending wise for quite a while now.
He was my top G prospect in the pipeline not long ago. That's not saying much but still holding out hope for him to get healthy, have a good season and get an NHL contract.
Yeah, big fan of Slukynsky as far as what I've read. Still trying to catch some game action.
Further proving the AHL is not a great league to develop high end talent. It is catered to physical guys trying to get their shot in the pros and depth players to learn a pro teams system so there can be next-man-up if injuries pile up on the big club.
I did not know that. Thought I did my research on him but I definitely missed that. That’s very impressive.
That's sort of the norm for high school kids in Minnesota as far back as the 90s. About all most kids ever get is a former goalie that occasionally comes to a practice as a consultant or the odd head coach here and there that was a goalie.
