Yep.
It is a bit of a no-brainer. The tenders aren't getting things done, and Pav is sitting there. Costs the team nothing to try to catch lightning in a bottle. Personally, I don't expect much as I believe there are some systemic issues that are affecting the team, but here we are.
My thoughts on Pav are well known - I'll hold my nose and wish him the best though. I expect to see Hutch on waivers when we get some more bodies back into the line-up, as I doubt anyone will be claiming him.
Or it's just an easy thing to do with the team in a freefall.

When you have two goalies stinking the joint, which demoralizes the team, you have to do something. Pavelec has the capability to go on a run, which is what we need. Even if he doesn't go on a run, our young goalies need a break.
Trading for a veteran goalie right now (because you guys are so anti-Pavelec) is a ridiculous waste of organizational assets, especially when that goalie would have to be exposed in the expansion draft. It is especially wasteful in a season where snagging a wild card and a first round exit is our best outcome. It's just not worth it.
I am excited to see what Pavelec can do.
Next off-season...yeah, Jets need to solve the goalie situation and spend some money.

Recency bias, but I saw Pavlec stop something like 42 of 43 shots against the Chicago Wolves on Sunday. My friend who was with me, a STH, said that we should bring Pavs up and how great a goalie he is. I was afraid something like this might happen, so here we are. The crazy thing is, they have tried everything else in the goalie department with the personnel that they have and it hasn't worked. Pavs will probably win the next five games. I'm okay with that. Just don't extend his contract, whatever happens.

Right move to make, season is hanging by a thread, Hutch is not a starting goalie in the NHL, may not be a back either. Helly is not ready, confidence is low and he needs to be sent back down.
If Pavs name was Dinky Dunsmore, we would all be pulling for him to come in and save this season for us. So just trick yourself into believing Dinky D is backstopping us.
p.s. Dinky D does not exist do not google at work.

This is where I'm at as well. Pav could go on a run - all NHL goalies can. As long as this doesn't factor into the long term goaltending decisions that have to be made, I'm OK with this.
Not sure I agree with this. He just needs someone to backstop him / trade off games that can actually help keep the team afloat. Have no idea if Pav can recreate some of his silly streaks from the past, but Hutch hasn't been able to either, so...

Should have done this in November 
I saw that Comrie and Pavs have had fairly even minutes for the Moose. At least this might help Comrie get more starts? Although I suppose the Jets are unlikely to carry 3 goalies unless we can have all 3 of them in net at once

Member when the stats guy was telling us how Hutch is an excellent NHL backup? Terrible. The more teams saw him the more his holes were glaring. There's no room for him in the organization next year.
Byuck will be back. It's an up and down year but I expect he comes out on the other side just fine long term.

What if Pavelec goes on a tear and compiles a .925. Two of the past three years (thr middle one where he had a major injury) would be very good. I wouldn't discount it quite yet but that scenario obviously hinges on Pavelec playing very well with his opportunity.
I hope he does...it would drive a few of you crazy.

You kick the guy [mod] a few months ago by demoting him, now you recall to help save the team?
Wow......screams desperation.
Amateur hour.....
Just when we thought we couldn't get any worse then last year......now this. Just wow....

Well I understand the need to shake things up seeing how the team has lost confidence in the goaltending. Perrault threw them under a bus last week so you gotta figure things are bad in the dressing room.
Having said that Pavs certainly isn't the answer, he's had 6 seasons and done nothing but disappoint, thinking he's going to do anything to alleviate the problems in net are optimistic to say the least.
I definitely get that the expansion draft has greatly hindered the team's ability to trade for a proven vet so this really is our only realistic option.
I'm just quite frankly disappointed that it's come to this. Very disappointed that not one of our young goalies could step up and claim the spot or even just give us passable net minding.

I have nothing against Pavelec and i hope he stands on his head and we win all the remaining games and we make the play-offs , but going on his history it's not going to happen .What if Pavelec goes on a tear and compiles a .925.
