If that's what you got from reading here, try again."Why'd we sign Nilsson?"
"Nilsson is a waste of cap space and is actively blocking Demko"
"Why'd we only get a pick and a spare goalie? We don't need the goalie! We should waive him just to get rid of him"
"Benning should have known McKenna would get claimed, what an idiot!"
"We all called both goalies getting injured! Bennings an idiot!"
"Benning being an idiot means we ruined DiPietro as a prospect!"
"We wasted an asset on a goalie"
Based on all this data, my predicted action is Mazanec getting waived when both goalies are healthy, and reaction is:
"Why did we waive him, doesn't Benning know this will happen again?"
So...I think most of the board will want us to carry three goalies in perpetuity now?

I don't think anyone thinks they should carry 3 goalies.Sorry, I should clarify, the board in general. This thread has been....well fairly sane.
I don't think anyone thinks they should carry 3 goalies.
I mean, maybe I just ignore dumb people, but the reasonable take here is this:
There should have been no urgency to getting Demko up, and the evidence that he was up for 30 days before getting a start speaks to this. So the trade was unneccessary in that lens, especially since they didn't make sure they replaced the organizational depth. If they couldn't be sure McKenna wouldn't make it through, don't make the trade.
The fact Dipietro on an emergency recall got in a game is less than ideal, embarrassed the management in front of the whole hockey world, and found a replacement the next day.
This was not an example of a situation being handled well, and it's another among a laundry list of examples that show this management regime is out of their depth.
You think people are going to be upset when they waive Manzaneac? I don't think reasonable people would. I try to only speak with reasonable people. Or at least those who are willling to provide well thought out posts.
Nope. Still think a pick given up is a nothing. Now if he takes another month+ to find a replacement, that's a different situation. We're not talking about half a dozen goalie options but ONE. Shouldn't take five weeks to find that option.You think people are going to be upset when they waive Manzaneac? I don't think reasonable people would. I try to only speak with reasonable people.

The Situation was mishandled given how they used Demko upon his call up.I don't think anyone thinks they should carry 3 goalies.
