I absolutely think we should bring Husso into a situation where we need him to be our #1. All that has ever been mentioned about Husso is that he's solid, level headed, and professional (minus some early lack of conditioning). He has continually been the best goalie everywhere he's been. Look at his 18-20 y/o seasons in Liiga, where he was automatically the #1 after doing so well in juniors and international tournaments (check those stats too). When given finally the reigns in Chicago for a span, he played exceptionally. He played very well last season for San Antonio. Two games into this season he has posted 2.03 .923.
I'm not saying he's necessarily ready at this moment, but he's a guy who finds a way to compete at higher levels when he needs to. Jake Allen better not go on the IR for very long this season if he wants to keep his job.
You’re arguing with a straw man. My point is that Husso should be put in a situation with the best chance for success. It has nothing to do with being the starter or not. But it shouldn’t be a situation where the rest of the team is playing badly and there is an expectation that he is going to make up for it.
Frankly, it’s pretty unlikely Husso comes up,if it’s not to at least split starts. He needs to be playing, not sit as the back-up (this year). If he did get called up, and Allen reasserted himself as the starter, I wouldn’t be surprised if Husso was sent back down to get more starts. Seems more likely to me that Allen would function as the co-starter or back-up.
There is a legit scenario there where the Blues keep Allen as the back-up. Because they can afford him under the cap due to Husso’s low salary, and because they don’t want to pay assets to get someone to take him.
To me the best scenario for Husso to get the starts\experience that he needs while putting him in the best position to succeed would be to waive\send down Johnson at some point and bring Husso in as a 1A\1B type situation where him and Jake pretty much split starts. If this could be done about 40%ish of the way through the season then Husso would still get in the range of 45-50ish total starts between the AHL\NHL to keep his development curve intact. The problem would be to present this to Shakey Jakey in a way so as not to totally blow out his fragile porcelain mentality. Just my 2¢
Yeah he’s still nursing what I think is a rib injury. I think he might have cracked it during Traverse City, we haven’t seen much of him since then.

From what I understand, Kaspick has been skating for the last couple of weeks in a non contact jersey. I'd imagine (hope) he's ready next weekend in Manitoba.

I think he’s asking how are the young dman doing? Assuming the likes of Mikkola, Walman, etc.

There really isnt a hierarchy of pairings, but the combinations have been mostly:
Butler-LaLeggia
Wotherspoon-Reinke
Mikkola-Walman
They have tinkered with the pairings quite a bit as well. Still trying to figure out chemistry.

Oh god, what have you done? If there was no hierarchy of pairings, for the love of all that is holy why did you put Mikkola's pair on the bottom of the list? Prepare for Ranksu to blow his top about mismanaging our prospects in 5...4...3.....

There are some people who just like to watch the world burn.
Thank you for info.
Can you give details ATOI/GP per player (dmen) and who Lost Time at PP and PK? Thank you. Hard to see anything stats on AHL games, only box score about previous game, but nothing what would give direction who are getting Lost icetime etc.
They don't officially track and publish AHL icetime. Someone who has watched some of the games may be able to give us estimate, but league at direction of teams doesn't provide.
Coach Nate

This. It'll be a while, but the next non Friday home game, I'd be glad to track pairings or individual player's ice time. Just let me know who.

Where do you suppose Hitch will put him in the lineup?I saw the team also signed Patrick Maroon too.
I can't believe they actually pulled the trigger on the Ryan Miller trade. I wish Halak well, but this might be the little boost they need to break through the post-season.
If it's not, we do have a solid prospect in the minors named Jake Allen that might be the future.
