Hopefully, everyone is on the same page with whatever is expected with this PTO. Sounded like Halak and the Canes had some different ideas at the end of his.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Oof, if that's our temporary solution until a possible Freddie return, I'm not sure this is it

 

[Joe McGrath]

This again reminds me that Aaron Dell and Aiden Hill are not the same person.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Our goalie situation is in deep deep deep deep...****.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Carolina may set some kind of record this season for the number of goalies they use …and the number of PTOs they give to goalies. Nuts!

record of goalies used probably isn't in danger.

goalies on PTO during the regular season though? Oh hell yes, we'll give that a good run for its money.

I don't know why this dynamic exists but 75% of the time if you asked me who backstopped Vegas to the Stanley Cup 6 months ago I would have the name Aaron Dell pop into my head, know it's not correct, but not be able to come up with Adin Hill either. I think it's just the similarity in structure/cadence of their names.

I've only just recently gotten over this phenomenon and I'm sure this will help hammer it home.

The flyers started 8 different goalies just a few years ago. We’ve started 3 currently. Got a ways to go.

And he is not a castle in a Disney movie.



Now it plays in your heads. You're welcome.

Dude you're getting A. Dell?

Damn, beat me to it. We are original thinkers

 

[Wolfpuck]

So we’re just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks.

 

[AD Skinner]

But will Mike refer to him by his full name every time like he’s actually trying to recover a Silmaril?

 

[A Star is Burns]

He had decent surface level numbers last year over a few games. It's been a while since he's been on a team that wasn't a tire fire (I know, haha, the Canes are just decent so far this year so someone will make a joke about us being a tire fire). He was at least decent when he was on good teams early in his career. We'll see if he gets a shot but at this point we just need someone decent until Raanta figures it out and/or Freddie gets back.

 

[Unsustainable]

I mean, hes had NHL starts. But this isnt giving confidence in the borg to make a huge move.

You never know. Maybe DW has seen the Barter Kings: "...they trade items for better items without any currency exchange."

Goalies are dropping like flies around the league and there are few good goalies in supply these days. What did you expect?

I'm not sure why anyone would have that confidence in season. It is not their modus operandi.

If they truly have reason to believe that Andersen is coming back soon and will be in game shape it wouldn’t make sense to do much else than use band aids until that happens. I’m a little skeptical of him being ready to roll long term but I am not a doctor and have no inside information

If Andersen can come back, then this is the type of move they need for a month or so to avoid exposing Perets.

If Andersen can't come back, signing Dell doesn't prevent them from making a move later.

Basically, if the market for goalies sucks right now, this lets them wait a bit to see if they really need to pay the price for the goalies available.

Used to love how Forslund said his name all in one go like a character from the lord of the rings or the hobbit

Andersen was already injury prone before this blood clot complication. They should be pushing to be ready to replace him with another goalie regardless of whether he comes back fine from this.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

The market is likely at a high price because teams aren’t going to make trades this early without extra motivation.

I don’t like Dell as an option but we’ll have to see how it works out
