Well, I'll say that since Knickle came from Nashville and they've usually had a solid stockpile of goalies as in recent years, I can take some solace in that. We have Lee, Domingue and Vizentin potentially all turning pro it was time for another amateur. I hardly know anything about this guy but in three years time if anything happens to one of those three up there, this guy could have a good chance coming right up behind them.

 

[Sciamachy]

Won't pretend to know the first thing about what kind of goalie he is, but I've got a soft spot for Czech players so I gladly welcome him.

It's so much better than those couple pre-Bryz years where the prospect of trying to get a starting G in here was so horrifying. Had nothing to look forward to from the farm at all.

Found this about Langhamer:

http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/73919/hertl-tops-the-czech-crop-for-the-2012-nhl-draft/

...Langhamer has shown an ability to face a heavy shot load and keep his team in games where they might otherwise suffer a blowout. Traffic in front doesn’t faze him, and he has good reflexes..."

Butterfly goalie with a quick glove and strong athletic ability. Has quick reflexes, fast legs, good lateral movement, solid rebound control, good positioning, and great recovery ability. Calm when the attack is strong and drives when taking shooters on. Very lean and had no formal goaltending coach until four seasons ago. Intriguing goalie prospect.

Sounds like someone we know.

It would appear as if Langhammer will be migrating to the WHL this season as Medicine Hat took him 47th in the import draft today.

Usually teams have prearranged deals with euro players before the draft so I would say it's a pretty good indication that he will play in North America this fall.

 

[Blubba Jenkins]

Yeah, Knickle said he was playing in the CHL this year.

 

[R S]

Will get to see a lot of this kid next year and I'm very excited.

Langhamer was invited to the Czech Republic's WJC training camp
