Confirmed Trade: [CGY/BOS] Dan Vladar for 2022 3rd round pick

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

I thought they were pretty high on him and Swayman.

I personally wanted to see a Swayman/Vladar tandem. (hell they had to do it for a chunk of last season and they kept them afloat).

Excited about Swayman... but between starting an injured Rask during the playoffs, and signing Ullmark for 4 years... makes you wonder how the brass feels about him. I was expecting a vet backup, but nothing long term like this.

Like any goalie prospect. This could potentially look like a huge steal in the future. Or it could be a blip on the transaction page. Vladar has promise, and has performed in the NHL level, but he's still a question mark. A low risk move by Calgary. Bruins have more at risk, since they just sunk 5M into Ullmark while having a cost controlled goalie tandem.

They were out of options with him and would have lost him if sent to minors

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Can't believe it took so long to sign this guy... he must find the lack of faith of this league, disturbing.

Do I like this as Flames fan? Someone tell me how to feel.

You like it. He might not work out but is very good gamble to take. He's just not as good as Swayman at the moment, picked up Ullmark, and the questions about Rask.
Vladar looks like he could be a starting goalie soon.
Cowtown should be happy with this trade,

 

[Double Dion]

With that last name he definitely needs to do the Darth mask.

 

[neelynugs]

will be a very good backup goalie, maybe more if he keeps developing. but nice asset in return
for a guy that required waivers.

 

[ShotDownInFlames]

Treliving said In his press conference that’s he’s still gonna add another goalie. Probably a depth move though

 

[Fig]

He reminds me a little bit of Allen in my limited viewing which I'd be very happy with.

Athletic with good hand eye and thrives in ganes with high volume shots? Is this an accurate evaluation on a few minutes of highlights viewing?

 

[Oates2Neely]

Good young goaltender, consistently improving. Big kid too. Sad to see him go. Unfortunate circumstance in Boston with Swayman & now Ullmark due to Rask’s surgery.

Hope he does well in Calgary. I’m expecting he’s a backup this season? Could be a future starter there

Right now hes like jonathon quick if jonathon quick didnt know how to play goalie yet.

potential for greatness, currently a bit of an adventure. The impossible save immediately followed by the backbreaking goal against. Thats vladar

Marky's gonna be the starter for a while, despite some people saying he sucks Markstrom was great to start the year, got concussed in the middle and played poorly but was also great to end the year.

Down the line Wolf is probably going to be the future starter but giving him some competition always helps

Poor asset management by Sweeney. Should have started with three goalies and seen what Vladar can do rather than tossing him aside for the same pick (and development) invested in Vladar.

Drafting and developing goalies is so hard. With the projects like it sounds like Vladar is/was they are waiver eligible and you lose them for nothing before they're quite ready. It's often the 2nd team who reaps the rewards.

NHL should look at different RFA and waiver rules for young keepers.

 

[dredeye]

Don’t like this for Boston.

Yeah that second paragraph totally sounds like what Allen was in in STL which makes me happy. I'm excited about this pick!

 

[BonMorrison]

Impressive.

Most impressive.

I'd say the Bruins brass realize if Rask comes back this season it'll be for one last run and can be signed in Feb-March for cheap. He did say it was Bruins or retire so no rush. If Rask comes back it's not a bad situation to have Rask and Ullmark for a playoff run and Swayman able to be sent down without going through waivers. One of the reasons Vladar was traded, he would have been plucked for free in this situation

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Definitely Treliving's best move of the day

 

[1989]

The lack of faith in this thread is… disturbing.

 

[Double Dion]

Agreed. I didn't hate the Zadorov thing. Was just hoping for more of an all situations top 4 guy, instead of a PK and D only guy.

I think wolf is a great prospect but he is too short to be successful in the NHL. I don’t think he will play much. I truly hope I am wrong. He has the skill

Tell that to Saros

Hard to say. He's an inch shorter than Fleury. No question it's a harder job for smaller guys though. But results are results. He was smaller in Junior just like he will be in the pros.

Ya that's fair for a player. I'm glad that they have better asset management then just letting a player rot without reps.

 

[burstnbloom]

Looks like he wasn't on their Vlradar
