Nice to have another good G prospect

Very good numbers for a teenager in Allsvenskan last year and SHL this year.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

This one is a big so what.

Clang is a great goaltender's name. Way better than Whiff.

This one is a big so what.

It's pretty much the 2nd + 'B' prospect return we should have expected though

 

[ADHB]

Whether he makes the save or it hits the post, the PBP guy can yell out the same word.

True, but Ducks took back 2 players back as a cap dump, albeit small.

[Goose of Reason]

Best name in our prospect pool

 

[Arthuros]

We got their 6th best prospect, cool. Not even their best G prospect, when we have like 3 in our system already.

There's B prospects and B goalie prospects.

Goalie prospects are voodoo, not against bringing in more depth in that area

 

[MMC]

I certainly hope no one who's bitching about adding another good goalie prospect to our pool is an advocate for trading Gibson

 

[sasha barkov]

The more I read into him, the more I like this prospect. Went fairly early for a goalie and has good numbers in Sweden. Looks like a better one of the goalie prospects of the 02 crop. Could be a stud.

Wheeler’s 2022 NHL prospect pool rankings: No. 29 Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins' pool is stronger today than it was a year ago.

Clang can get himself into trouble at times with how active he is in the net (as with the Pens’ other two goalie prospects, size also isn’t his hallmark), pulling himself off of his lines.

Here we go again.

Well... at least the Penguin's have a track history of finding some decent starting goalie talent... or at least better than average...

Another positive spin is that its looking more realistic that we are trading Gibby this offseason to fully commit to tanking. It's just unfortunate that we didn't at this deadline when teams are more desperate. Instead we can expect more futures that will make it to the team in 2027.

Don’t need to trade Gibson to tank. Seems like he’s on board to me.

For those worried about some sort of logjam or whatever, there's no reason to bring this guy over for at least another year or more likely two +. Let him earn his way into a starter's role in the SHL first. Dostal will be in the NHL then, and you have at least three other pro spots for Clang, Alexander, OEE or whoever. If they get in each other's way it's a good thing because it means they're performing.

We have plenty of prospect depth at all positions, so I'm not much bothered by a goalie at all. If there's a complaint I would have liked a higher end prospect of any type, but Clang seems to have a pretty good pedigree. Two time WJC member for Sweden, good numbers for a teenager in two levels of pro including the top league. Could be worse...

Same. This trade gets a pass from me.
Ducks scouts great with evaluating goalies so I'd imagine they like this guy quite a bit.

If the Ducks re-signed Rakell what incentive does Rakell have to be less Lazy ? Probably even lower effort than before.
Maybe he will play great for a playoff run on Pittsburgh.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

It's not quite Dostal level impressive but nothing to sneeze at either. Teenager top 5 in a top 5 league.

 

[Kalv]

So a 5th best s% in SHL this year? I say that's good.
He should be considered for the WJC's in summer
