Oh he is awful. Domingue like.

 

[RABBIT]

Still hoping for Ingram

Does a waiver claim bump us back in the order when it comes to waiver wire?

That’s not a thing. This isn’t fantasy football.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Dude we just released Gibson and now we pick up someone worse lol

 

[CoSi]

Dope. He sucks. Now claim Ratcliffe.

back off I know my rights

 

[SpaceCoyote]

He let in 10 goals in one game against Montreal last season...

 

[Matias Maccete]

I was hoping he was another big angry bamf. Instead another bad goalie. Meh.

 

[CoSi]

One thing I notice is most bad goalies we bring in have size. We have a good goalie staff I think the hope is to just gamble on guys with tools and see if we can teach them how to stop a respectable amount of pucks

From Wikipedia:

"Johansson made his NHL debut (for Buffalo) on 4 February 2020, in relief of Carter Hutton in a game against the Colorado Avalanche. "

Yeesh.

We got our new tank commander

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO (sarcasm)

In all seriousness though I think this means the (eventual) end of Prosvetov. Haven't seen enough of either one of these guys to form a strong opinion but when your team is going out of their way to pick up guys like Gillies or Jonas Johansson it shows they do not have faith (at all) in the 'top' goalie prospect currently in the pipeline.

So we are still looking for the goalie of the future, we'll see who we end up with

Blech.

As bad as he is, he’s not any better or worse than Gillies. They’re both mediocre, veteran, AHL backups.

So what’s the point? Why have two of these guys? I mean, why even have one of them, let alone two?

 

[hbk]

Is Khudobin done? Can he play? Is AZ making a claim to up the ante for Dallas to send him out way so they can extend Robertson?

I’m wondering if they knew they needed somebody so they grabbed him, but are still hoping for something better they can grab later. I can’t imagine us letting Ingram slide if he’s on waivers? Oh wait yes I can

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, man. Just name him the #1 starter and stick your tongue out at the Hawks. That's a Bedard guarantee.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I just don't get why we didn't wait for Daccord or Ingram. Or traded for Khudobin with an asset. Or just duct- taped Tyson Nash to the goalposts...

We can claim them and put this guy back on waivers. If nobody else made a claim this go around the Avs get first right and they need a goalie for their farm team.

He played the other day, so maybe. Signing Gillies was baffling to me. And I’m further mystified by claiming Johansson. Khudobin, on the other hand, makes complete sense to me. He’s proven he is capable of possibly helping. The other two have proven that they are absolutely not.

I just don't get why we didn't wait for Daccord or Ingram. Or traded for Khudobin with an asset. Or just duct- taped Tyson Nash to the goalposts...

Exactly. Daccord and Ingram have a small shot of being actual assets, too. There is no chance that Gillies or Johansson become assets at all.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I agree...don't know why we just wouldn't wait for Daccord or Ingram, they're much better

We got our new tank commander

Armstrong didn't come to the desert to fail at tanking.

 

[Summer Rose]

Is our tank strategy to collect every bad goalie so no other team can grab a tank commander?

 

[moosemeister]

Armstrong didn't come to the desert to fail at tanking.

Couple this with the fact, that at some point, Nemeth and Stetcher will be our top paring defensemen, we are destined for a 32nd place finish.
