All in the Ducks NA pro picture for next year, with big Clara continuing to develop overseas. Fantastic young goalie depth

Doubt it, our GM said at a media sessions for the Gulls that he expects him on their roster next season
I assume
Gibson
Dostal
Suchanek
Buteyets
Clang
Gage
Very young goalie squad. Wish them no injuries at the NHL level because a guy is getting rushed. Probably would have to trade for a journeyman if it's anything mid/long term.
That goalie lineup in the AHL could also get overwhelmed in a full season.
The one possible upset I could see is Clang pushing Buteyets down as he's more used to NA.

I assume well bring in some sort of vet like Stalock...
Hoping we move on from Gibson and bring in a diff vet goalie to back up Dostal
I think anaheim will be 1 of the more active teams this offseason... lots of cap space + assets... and i think the light at the end of the rebuild is bright.

Clang also has had more pro experience in Europe, and did quite well at that level - I’d be surprised if Buteyets found himself higher on the depth chart right away. Otherwise a loan to Sweden for Clang would IMO be preferable over a year mostly spent in the E.

All I can say is I hope I'm never in a situation where I need to spell his name.

I'm sure they'll come up with a nickname ... Assuming he's any good. I'm proposing "BTS". Although if he sucks he'll be more ButeNyets. I'm here all week folks.

Thankfully Jake Lechyscyshyshsncysn wasn't good enough... I have a stroke every time I try and spell his last name

I figure the Habs commentators will have fun with the fact that his last name starts with the French word for goal

I stopped watching the NBA altogether because I don't wanna have to write about that Giannis dude.
May have to re evaluate the nicknames then. "Great save! Buteyets? Bute-NYET!"
