Sorry, if there was another thread on this I didn't see it when "searching".
Just curious what Sens fans opinion of their goalie situation is going into 2021-22.
Losing Daccord stinks. But not the end of the world.
Murray has been a big disappointment I am sure. After watching him with the Pens and now Sens, I am really not sure what happened to him. His decline is noticeable, but it's hard to tell the root cause. And he's being payed a pretty hefty figure.
That brings me to Gustavsson. This guy was, for a long time, supposed to be the goalie of the "future". He had a rocky trip, but near the end of last season, he seems to have finally arrived.
I thought the Sens might try to grab a good goalie prospect in the draft. Even perhaps Gaudreau later on in the draft. But they did not. Frankly, I would be pretty disappointed with the Sens 2021 draft. But they certainly aren't the only team that made some questionable choices.
How do you guys see the future of Sens goaltending panning out? I have to imagine they are fully behind Gustavsson and this point as part of their future. He really did look THAT good at the end of the 20-21 season. All be it in a short sample size. While Murray hasn't really looked like the starter he's supposed to be since he arrived.
I personally love Gustavsson as a GK prospect. And I think he does have a big future ahead of him. It probably is for the best that he does have Murray around to take pressure and the spotlight off of him. That seems like a better environment to progress as a young goalie.
Do Sens fans see Murray falling behind Gustavsson as early as this season? I assume they won't want to re-sign Murray when his contract is up, but they probably also will not be able to move him before then either. Which means one of their GK spots is taken for the foreseeable future.
The other spot, a bit more up in the air, but I am guessing Gustavsson will take that and they will be played in some fairly even time share. Unless the Sens sign a FA goalie to add to the mix. Well, I assume they will sign a goalie just for depth, but I don't think it would be wise to sign someone that would take playing time away from Gustavsson.
Sens fans feel comfortable and happy with Gustavsson going forward? Or are there still a lot of concerns about him in the long run?
