People are getting so worked up over a AHL lifer being claimed. There’s a simple solution. Just sign one of the many AHL goalies on non nhl deals to one. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to leave their current team to become Utica’s starter with a nhl contract.

Worst case just sign a free agent. Why people think Benning needs to trade value for an AHL goalie I don’t know

Team (Comets) have a habit of filling out roster spots with ECHL rejects on PTOs. Imagine the Canucks without EP, Boeser, Tanev, Edler and Horvat. That is the Comets.

Flyers must really be desperate...putting in a claim for a 36-year old AHL lifer like McKenna. Now they have to keep him on the roster or put him on waivers again.

Canucks will have to find a stop-gap goalie for Utica somewhere....but the ECHL is obviously full of them. Where's Joe Cannata when you need him?

Just have to get through to March. If and when DiPietro's OHL team is out of the playoffs, then he'll arrive in Utica.

It’s completely irrelevant to lose an career ahl starter 99.9% of the time but it’s just funny the 0.1% it matters it happens to the Canucks. Now we just have to hope they sign some random and not trade an asset for an ahl goalie when they will probably get McKenna back in a few weeks

Exactly my point. People here are saying Benning though will fill the gap here not Ghostson. These people are also jumping to the conclusion his only option now is to dump a pick or minor asset for this position. My point is he can sign a more qualified goalie than McKenna from another ahl team or a free agent like Steve mason.

Completely unexpected. Can't really do anything but laugh. Sorry Utica.
