Speculation: All Purpose Goalie Speculation Thread

[IPreferPi]

Really don't get the love for Raanta. Nilsson tops my list because he won't cost us any assets.

Chad Johnson is my #1 choice, all things considered.

Why is he not getting more love? This bums me out. He's a good goalie and I'm a big fan. He'd be cheap and he'd likely be thrilled to duke it out with Domingue for starts. That's a very heathy, very tight competition right there. These two could really keep each other on their respective games. I actually really love he idea of Louie and Ochocinco as our battery in goal. I kinda think it sucks that Chayka wasn't like "We like Chad, we want Chad, we're going to do what we can to sign Chad". That's the quote I want.

Bring! Back! The! Shooter! Tutor!

Ochocinco is my #2 given we now have his rights. Still like Nilsson more.

No matter what happens it can't be as bad as the year Don Maloney tried saddling us with a three-headed goalie monster of David Aebischer, Alex Auld, and Michael Tellqvist.

Gawd I remember that......

They want some upside in a goalie during a time where there's a glut of them on the market. It's understandable. It's smart. Professing your love early for a guy isn't smart. Johnson will always be there for a contract.

I love Shooter Tutor and I don't care who knows it. I'll shout it from the rooftops.

I'm ok with Chad being the backup, I'm ok with letting Domingue go.

I want one of:
Lehner
Nilsson

either of the Buffalo goalies would be fine by me.

I'd even accept Raanta if it were cheap and didn't cost us much

 

[RABBIT]

I think Domingue has more upside than people think. I think Domingue being the 2nd man is good for us. He reminds me of Greiss. Not really a number 2, more like 1A.

I do like Chad Johnson as well, but he's 31 now and maybe heading toward his last few good years. I like Raanta because he should be starting. He has great numbers, and he's 28. Grubauer is ideal as well because he has raw talent and he's young.

Get Lehner, pick up Nygren, and get them to room with DeAngelo. It'd be perfect.

Was wondering what the Lehner thing was. Welp, scratch him off the list.

nm, ignore

Meat heads gonna meat head. I don't care about that. I just like 85 better.

Lehner is terrible on breakaways (and in the shootout), which will be a problem as long as Playfair coaches this D. Nilsson had a better save percentage at even strength.

He could always build a wall around the crease and make the shooters pay for it.

Even Strength SvPct last season:

Grubauer - .937
Raanta - .936
Nilsson - .934
Lehner- .926
Ochocinco - .917

Is PK save percentage not important?

PK SvPct last season:

Lehner - .891
Grubauer - .883
Nilsson - .873
Ochocinco - .870
Raanta - .832

Nilsson's numbers on a garbage team do stand out. Why is Buffalo letting him walk?

His numbers before this season were "deplorable"

Buffalo has a gluten of goalies
Lehner
Nilsson
Ullmark
Johansson
Cal Peterson - although doubt he signs with Buffalo

Can have him work with our goaltending coach... oh wait.

Haha. I FORGOT about that. Our goalie coaches were Smith's childhood friends or whatever. Just random *******s off the street basically. No wonder Louis struggled. Dealing with THAT ********. This franchise...wow...

Maybe Lehner and DeAngelo can drain the swamp and make the Coyotes great again.

 

[_Del_]

There are half a dozen or more goaltenders that I wouldn't bat an eye if they signed or traded for. Literally. There are lots of options out there. That's why I was so set that they must trade him if there was interest.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

agreed

I'm happy today...now we just don't need for Chayka to screw it up by off-loading any of the prized prospects for Stepan.
