Prospect Info: Anthony Stolarz

[mja]

He seems to be playing well enough that one wouldn't have to alter one's defensive system to shelter him a bit.

No need for a Stolarz system.

Yeesh. You've been waiting a while to trot that out, haven't you?

Reading that in the voice of Bryz, I got a chuckle

 

[Curufinwe]

Stolarz was much more consistent this season. He would have played 50+ games if Neuvirth hadn't got injured in March.

Stolarz now has .905, .916 and .910 sv% in his last three seasons. What can we honestly expect out of him if he makes flyers next year?

Nicely played

To me, it's clear that he won't be making the Flyers.

Neuvirth was re-signed. In NO WAY can Hextall believe he can handle the starters role, so that means another vet goalie who can handle 50 games is going to be signed.

Then add in Stolarz play in the AHL, and it becomes an easy decision by Hextall to leave him down there to start the season.

He was having a very good season prior to being called up.

Then he got called up and had a .938 save percentage in 2 starts and 2 relief appearances with 2 wins and a 1 shut-out. Then he barely played because Hakstol is a buffoon. It completely disrupted his season and because Lyon was playing well in his absence, it made it even harder to take back the reigns in LHV.

I'd be very comfortable with a Mason-Stolarz tandem next season, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards unless LHV claims Neuvirth and Mason is re-signed after the ED.

Stolarz on Waivers today

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'm guessing that Pickard or Neuvy is the back up?

RIP Stolarz

Have fun in Toronto

Stolarz on Waivers today

I suspect that last night was the last time we see him in a Flyers uni. Not that I necessarily think he will be claimed (though it would not be surprising), just that he's too far down the list. Elliot, Neuvy, Pickard are all obviously ahead of him. If there is an injury of any consequence later in the season and Pickard or Neuvy is not available for some reason (claimed on waivers?), Hart I would think gets the call up, assuming he's up to it.

I doubt the Leafs see Stolarz as better than Sparks. And IMHO the majority of teams needing a backup would have had a chance to nab McElhinney or Pickard and didn't.

 

[BernieParent]

Yeesh. You've been waiting a while to trot that out, haven't you?

I've been holding onto "the fault in our Stolarz" for just the right occasion.

 

[RANKKA]

bye bye :,(

Stolarz on Waivers today

That was a foregone conclusion.
The bigger question is if he’ll be claimed.
I doubt it.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

The only team I could see claiming him is Ottawa. Because for them, why not roll the dice? They’re going to be awful anyway. Anderson isn’t going to be around much longer. Their backup is Condon (who cares).

Other than that, which I still think is unlikely, I doubt Stolie is going anywhere but Lehigh Valley.

 

[kudymen]

Ah efff... I hope he doesnt get claimed, I see Ottawa or Toronto taking a chance there, hopefully I am wrong. I am never ready to let prospects go (as seen in the Martel thread)

Yeah that makes sense. But then they did not put a claim in on Pickard, so who knows.

Again, Toronto won't because they have Sparks in a similar situation.

 

[Curufinwe]

Pickard is. Neuvirth is on IR.

 

[deadhead]

Flyers have reached the point where they're going to lose prospects every year.
I'm sure Hextall tried to trade Martel and Leier, and probably Stolarz.
But not every prospect has value, Cousins got a 5th, McGinn a 3rd, but sometimes there's no market.
As the quality of talent at LHV increases, you'll see more trades for draft picks to avoid losing players on waivers.

Ah. I missed this, thanks

 

[Striiker]

It’ll be a “revenge waiver claim”. Just like the infamous “revenge offer sheet”.

 

[Flukeshot]

I think it would be more likely that Toronto lets him clear waivers and then trades something minor for him.

No point in claiming him direct off waivers as he couldn't go to the AHL without us having a chance to take him back.

 

[Curufinwe]

I would think Hextall would want to keep Stolarz around if he clears waivers.

At least until Neuvirth and Lyon are healthy. Then they'll have to go on waivers, also.
