Can he actually overcome his size? Man he looks tiny in net.That's because they're playing against Dustin Wolf, who I wanted Avs to draft. The dude has shown everything you want a rookie goaler to show in his first year in the AHL.

That's why he was a seventh round pick, if he was 6'2" we're talking about an early 20s selection. He has everything in his game except size, so I could see him be Saros 2.0. I am a bit worried that he doesn't have the athletic ability that Saros has, but I find Wolf a much smarter goaler overall.Can he actually overcome his size? Man he looks tiny in net.
So what you are saying is JTC could fetch us something nice this summer, right?That's why he was a seventh round pick, if he was 6'2" we're talking about an early 20s selection.

Oh we doing a Dustin Wolf hype thread? The goalie taken a few picks after Trent Miner? Every since he was drafted he's been the best goalie in every league. His IQ is off the charts. It's what made him so good in the WHL, he was just smarter than everyone. It's good to see that continuing. And yeah he's not as quick/agile as Saros but he's no slouch in that department either.That's why he was a seventh round pick, if he was 6'2" we're talking about an early 20s selection.

At least that goal didn't end up costing them the L
Ya good thing the rest of the team made up for it.Poor Kaut, that would’ve suuuuuuucked if that goal cost them the game.
Dislike Kaut all you want from ever making the NHL, but I find it weird that you label him as a bust from that incident. That's more pure unfortunate fluke than anything else. He was just trying to clear it.Hahahahahahaha Kaut!!! And people think this guy should be in the NHL

It looks like Annunen had a strong end of the regular season and playoffs.

It's Dustin Wolf the best goalie in the AHL. Some luck his way but this is just what he does.Wow Eagles were shutout in all three losses against Stockton? That's a tough way to get eliminated.
I see they had 40 shots in this one. Did the opposing goalie just stand on his head or could the Eagles just not score?
Ok thanks for the info. For some reason I thought I remembered him having great games to finish the regular season. I guess I was wrongStrong playoffs for sure. 0.667 QS%, 5.690 GSAA, 0.575 GSAA/30, 31.74 SA/60, only one statistical Really Bad Start which he bounced back from with a 0.958 SV% the next start.
Here's the SV%'s of his last 10 starts of the regular season:
0.971 0.815 0.903 0.722 0.818 0.600 0.833 0.792 0.821 0.800
So he ended the regular season with a resounding thud. Stick taps to him though for turning it around in the playoffs.
Ranta's physical gifts just don't match his hockey IQ. He's got all the gifts you would want to be a very poorman's Chris Kreider, but he doesn't read the play nearly well enough to do anything with that. If he was in a better organization re: development, I would have a lot more confidence in him turning into a usable bottom-6 guy. With the Avs, kind of feel like they have probably already moved on.So Annunen seems to at least have had a decent year, what do we make of Ranta? Sure seems like he had a rough first full year in the pros, also got injured at some point.
