If im not wrong if we signed a goalie they would have to go through waivers so the trade makes sense

He’s a 27 year old goalie with 31 NHL games under his belt with a 2.97 gaa and .895 SV%
You are wrong that there’s potential there. He is what he is, a backup/1b goalie for an ahl team
He has little potential, but he is a tolerable stopgap. Not quite sure what people expected different from this. We have multiple players of this ilk, perhaps most notably Poohalot, but also Leivo, eriksson, Granlund, Schaller, Motte, Biega, and have added Brisebois and MacEwen ... though the jury has years to go on these 2.
We are going through a rough stretch goalie wise. Who cares? Next years 7th that would be a minimum of 5 years before we find out whether or not we won the lottery (7th round lottery that is).
Have you'all not been watching the Canucks? JB did ok on this on compared to many of his disasters.
Shame they had to spend a 7th rounder to settle an awkward situation.
Seriously wonder how you plan for losing Markstrom Demko Bachman McKenna and your U20 Canada goalie looking like a deer in the headlights?
Was Goalie Mart closed or something like seriously what are people getting so upset about?
Obviously they were trying to wait it out and get Demko and someone from the Flyers but they used the conditioning stint to **** us because they knew we would grab him back and DiPietro who they thought might be a good strory got vented after a pathetic start to a game that would have had us down 3-0 if Markstrom was in net.
Oh well hopefully Mazanec can take Bachmans spot in the organization and they still grab someone from the Flyers when the time comes..........**** those guys
Without pointing fingers at any particular side, it's kind of funny how the value of a seventh rounder seems to have changed around here relative to the Del Zotto deal.
Interesting take by Ferraro on this:
yes they gambled and lost.I agree with Ferraro take. Benning had a problem and let it become a catastrophe. Coughing a pick should have happened earlier if it was going to happen.
They took a gamble that they would not need to give up a pick recognizing that they weren't going to get anyone who was anything more than a stop gap. It was a gamble that did not work out for a variety of reasons one of which was the team laying an egg when they should have been juiced to play in front of the rookie.I agree with Ferraro take.

The coach puts Demko in or not and Demko looked fine at the NHL level. I don't see a big problem. It's just that markstrom is clearly better so the coach leans on him more.yes they gambled and lost.
If Demko who *****ed about playing in the AHL could actually ****ing play in the league he says he's ready for this doesn't happen.
i dont think it cost us 2 pts just some bad optics

At the end of the day I don't think it was a bad thing at all that DiPietro got a game and they likely weren't winning that game with 25 let alone anyone they would have picked up. Not sure what the fuss is really about, although I know it is ultimately about other moves made and not made and not about the actual situation, and it is pretty ironic that many of the people most distressed by it are the same people saying they need to miss the playoffs for the longterm good.

I think this was poor planning and preparation more than anything. Could have been avoided but I understand why they did what they did.
It's just that it's not ideal for DiPietro development for him to be on the bench and not playing or getting lit up in the NHL. I don't think this is as positive as you make it to be. CHL goalies aren't called up by NHL teams for good reason.
You can be upset about the handling of a prospect and want the team to tank. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Really it's the waiting five weeks to get a viable pro goalie under contract that people can't understand, I don't believe many here are sweating the small stuff. Playing five weeks without an NHL contracted goalie available in Utica was a topic of discussion in the Utica thread for, well, the past five weeks. And sure enough, it reared up and bit us in the ass...I think many are greatly overreacting
At the end of the day who cares? Besides Benning haters no one. We lost one game against the conference leaders and Dipietro isn't dead. He got a game. We lost, it happens. Move on to the next one. Hopefully Marky is ready.
The day you're hanging your hat on a Feb 11th game because of blah blah blah fill in the blanks is the day you prove you know nothing about real sports.
