Glad to hear, no one can say he didn't earn it. He's made himself into a legitimate candidate to push for NHL time as soon as next season.

Guess that means we're running a young-gun duo in net next season in the AHL with Clang and Suchanek. No more Stalock?
I dont see why Stalock would be needed. Only way I see us re-signing him or signing someone else at this point is if they actually move Gibson in the off-season and a goalie doesnt come back as part of the deal
One of the most well-deserved contracts I can remember

Basically what we've been running since the calendar turned to 2024, Stalock has only played 4 games in 2024 and only started 3, and wasn't very good in them. He's been obsolete ever since we realized Suchanek can play at the AHL level

He's been hurt off and on. Definitely passed up on the depth chart.
Someone was going to sign Suchanek after the season he had, glad it was us.

Damien Clara is also looking pretty well this season, so we should have good goaltending depth for years to come. Dostal, Clara, Suchanek, Clang - that sets us up in both orgs for ten years.

I would be extremely surprised. No one else is close.
Ya, he and Carlsson have the highest contracts for ELCs. Would imagine Cutter will be right there too

Totally and if Colangelo signs, I imagine he gets something similar as well due to his leverage.
Glad to see this, was afraid they didnt have a plan to get him signed. Goalie depth is kind of crazy right now
I'm confused. How was he playing the AHL/ECHL Ducks' affiliates without being signed by the Ducks previously? Was he not drafted and signed with the AHL/ECHL teams directly? Does this mean another NHL team could've signed before the Ducks did during his playing time at San Diego/Tulsa?

He was signed by the Gulls to an AHL contract. And yes he could’ve signed elsewhere if offers were out there and he accepted one
Thanks for the confirmation. I was wondering how he got to the Gulls without being drafted and signed by the Ducks previously. Had no idea undrafted players can sign directly with AHL/ECHL teams.

He’s looked fantastic in the games I’ve watched and gone to in San Diego…..
We have some incredible goalie depth right now
