I'm not sure any NHL team should be selling their body just to draft a goaltender.

 

[Echo Roku]

That would be quite the show

I'm saying if hes available does CGY pick him up when it's their turn to draft

That does seem like an extreme reaction. I wouldn’t think Treliving would need to take to the street corner to find a goalie.

Calgary you dirty girl

They are making fun of your typo. Idk tho if he's bpa then sure , goalies take forever to develop so if they have none in their system they should use a couple darts on goalies in different leagues

 

[SLAYER]

I think Calgary will ho after anyone that interests them. I've been to Calgary, it's a good time.

Lol just noticed that ...

This is OUTHOUSE.

Im hoping he falls in the draft. Would love to acquire him. Think he will be legit, and not to much of a gamble even for a first rounder

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Vegas takes Spencer Knight I believe.

In terms of goaltenders, I can see them giving Oscar Dansk a chance.

I think he turns out better than Parsons , we will see I guess but hopefully he falls

 

[Rico Suave]

woudlnt any team willing to take Spencer be better off just calling the Habs about Primeau,closer to the nhl and proved hes worth in the ncaa.I know some habs fans see him has Carey's replacement but Price is here until 2025/2026,alot can happen until then.If the habs can land a 1st or descent offer for Primeau i say take it


PS : i know goalies aint worth much but if a team is willing to take Knight with theyre 1st they might be more interested in Cayden Primeau whos also a top goalie prospect

What happened with Parsons? He was "just as good a prospect as Hart" a few years ago.

 

[FanTheFlames]

If he is there yes, but i do see them drafting a goalie even if he isn't Knight maybe sogaard, ellis or parik with a later pick.

 

[treple13]

Calgary has spent way too many high picks on bust goalies over the years for me to want to try again.

 

[Bounces R Way]

If he's there at 26 then maybe sure yeah. Can't really see them trading up to try and grab him though.

He’s an excellent goalie prospect. Problem for Calgary is that he won’t arrive for 3-4 years to take the job.

That’s why they drafted Gillies, MacDonald, and Parsons a few years ago.

Nothing wrong with taking a goalie late in the first. But you should be doing that if you 1) don’t have a good young goalie in the system and 2) your starter is 30.
Due to development time he won’t arrive for around 4 years and not ready for starter for maybe 6 years. That puts your current starter to age 36 which is a nice timing for the transition.

He has struggled with mental health issues (depression) since turning pro, and has also had a tough time staying physically healthy as well. His numbers last seasons actually weren't all that bad considering the team he played on.

He needs to remain both physically and mentally healthy. The talent is there.

As far as Knight goes.. I don't know. It's tough to draft yet another goaltender high up when our all around pool is lacking overall talent.

Did not know that....just awful. Hopefully he puts it all together because as you said, he is talented.

If he's lingering in round 5-7

Truly sad. Apparently he was on the verge of quitting hockey all together prior to opening up about his struggles.

Here is an article with a greater in depth look at his battle if you are interested.

I really want Knight. I’m hoping we can also trade a defenceman and bring in another first to draft Leason. Both fill big organizational needs. And adding an overager in Leason who has the physicality helps expedite the process. After the playoffs it showed we needed to add grit to our skilled players. And we’ve needed a top goalie since Kipper retired. Get it done Tre.
