I say this every year we link up with a new ECHL team but I'll keep saying it.

The ECHL is a great league for stashing goalies but we don't do it for whatever reason. Let's let Kallgren and Madsen play there this year (Madsen had offseason hip surgery so I don't know where he's at).

NHL - Raanta and Kuemper
AHL - Hill and Prosvetov
ECHL - Madsen and Kallgren
Junior - Tendeck
Europe - Langhamer

Something like that.

I think we're done with Langhamer.

Probably. Really good numbers in the KHL this year though. We still have his rights if he turns into the second coming of Tim Thomas.

They all look good man. I don’t get it. Spin the f***ing wheel. One of those six will probably make 30m in the NHL and the other five will never get 30 career starts. And the one will be the guy we least expect. And it won’t even be with the Coyotes. It’ll probably be with Pittsburgh because who the hell knows? Goalie prospects man.

Langhammer is among Coyote greats Al Montoya and Chad Johnson

Came here to post this. And keep one affiliate so that the ECHL team can plan accordingly and there's not a 3rd goalie, a non-Coyotes goalie on the roster.

Playing time is playing time, all situations, 24 mins a game, I'd rather a 20 year old low-end prospect be 1D in the ECHL than 6D/7D/8D in Tucson.

TBH I wouldn't mind Hill or Prosvetov getting a starting role in the ECHL. The other can have the A. I'd rather have two goalies get starting games then split it. Then again the competition would be nice

Cat's latest article said that Kallgren is expected to provide some serious competition for the A job too
