Prospect Info: Ville Husso (2014 Draft - 94 Overall)

[ChicagoBlues]

I'm not sure that Armstrong will offer Hutton a 2 year deal, and he is obviously going to get that in UFA. His age and past contracts put him in a position where he has to be more inclined to follow the security.

If Hutton goes, then what happens is all on Husso. It will be a fight between him and the new guy to be the backup next season. It might not be a fair fight, but he'll have the chance to claim the roster spot.

I can't help it, but I am starting to read your posts with a Scottish accent.

Said it in the prospects thread but I think Ville is going to be a special goaltender.

I'd prefer Husso stay down in the AHL and be the clear #1 starter and start 50 games rather than come up here and get 20-25 games as a backup.

Well if he's playing behind Allen he'll probably get a lot more than that.

I'd like to see Husso get a shot with the big team next year. Yzerman gave Vasi a chance at a younger age in TB behind Bishop, and I think Husso has similar potential. I do think we need to find the right goaltender coach for Husso...someone who connects with him. I have a feeling that Brodeur would appreciate Husso's style.

Husso let 5 goals against Dallas AHL team. Auch. Don't know where there any softies and how Husso played overally, but letting 5 goals isn't normal for Husso.

Maybe @Jessica and @cgf could give inside of that game?

[The Note in MI]

There weren’t any super softies but he certainly let in ones he’s usually saving. It was a back to back for him for what that’s worth. The rampage defense just left him to dry quite a bit

 

[PiggySmalls]

Yeah only one I thought he misread was the 2nd on that inside his blocker arm. The 2 that came off rebounds where he was falling down trying to cover it will just come with experience.

Another win for Husso. TheAHL.com

Husso's stats loosk going up when season has progressed.

Ville Husso

Really happy for him he has find his form and getting better in NA rink. Next season he'll get all attention and maybe even get change to play NHL level. I don't wouldn't it be even extra boost for him give one game in up NHL level this season, earned NHL debut.

I trasfer these post in to correct thread.

44 shot shutout for some Finnish goalie that plays in San Antonio. All while playing a back to back. Just watch his highlights, he moves around so little yet remains in position.

Friday night game highlights.


Saturday night game highlights have not been posted yet.

Here is Husso highlights from his shutout.

Well I selected wrong words, but I would like to collect all Husso's context in one place. Too much to ask?

No it’s all good. You just confused me.

Husso adjusting to life, hockey in North America

"Good worker, great kid, very technical," Veilleux said. "Professional, on and off the ice. It's been great. He's definitely on his way to the NHL, I think."

"You can easily see that he's calm when he plays, focused on what he has to do, and believes in his style. He keeps everybody calm when he plays."

Good read, thanks for sharing Ranksu.

Did you notice the part where Ville said that looking back, playing in the ECHL was a really good thing for him and he learned a lot?

No I didn't notice it or do you mean that beer league? Husso can be somethimes delusional in his interviews. We'll stick on that Blues as organization sucks, goaltender coaching stuff sucks, Allen sucks, Berglund sucks and and we finns are great. Down the earth people.

I haven’t read the article yet but the irony of that excerpt is golden.

From the article:

Rampage head coach Eric Veilleux has been splitting goaltending duties between Husso and Colorado Avalanche prospect Spencer Martin. While the tandem has been deployed evenly, Veilleux noted Husso has been particularly impressive in 2018.

"Good worker, great kid, very technical," Veilleux said. "Professional, on and off the ice. It's been great. He's definitely on his way to the NHL, I think."

One of Husso's best attributes, according to his coach, is his on-ice persona.

"You can easily see that he's calm when he plays, focused on what he has to do, and believes in his style. He keeps everybody calm when he plays."
