Confirmed with Link: Flames sign Louis Domingue

[Rubi]

Wasn't very good in his last 2 yrs in arizona. Was adequate injury fill in for the powerful Tampa

In the 2015-2016 season the Yotes, as usual, didn't have a very good team finishing 24th in league standings. I think a .908 Sv% is quite respectable considering the team he was back stopping.
In his last season with Arizona (2016-2017) the team finished 28th in the league.
A goalies stats are so dependent, in most cases, on the quality of the team playing in front of them.
His brutal season with NJ? Another disaster of a team that finished 26th in the league.

Can't blame a goalie for having terrible stats in a season where the team as a whole sucked.

The long and the short of it is that he's played 6 seasons and in 4 of those seasons he had Sv% of .912, .911, .908, and .908. The other two seasons, on terrible teams, he had Sv% of .892 and 882.

I can live with a goalie like that as a backup to Markstrom. He'll gives the team a chance to win.

Parsons was doomed the day the flames drafted him

? Injuries and mental illness were the Flames fault?

Competition in AHL, bullshit, I am 99% positive Tre is trying to trade Rittich and will ride Domingue as our back-up. That would clear $2 million in cap space.

Find a taker for Ryan for a 6th rounder and that's another $3.125 mil.

That is more than enough space for Hall.

Parsons is already injured apparently. I wonder if this is true, the trade will be mid season, not immediately. Domingue in the AHL for a bit and if Rittich is traded, the best between him, Snag Zag and Parsons get some NHL time. The two way attribute of the contract is huge in helping give the Flames options.

Nothing to do with parsons issues

The fact that button would not know a good goalie prospect if it bites him in the ass. ..the clearest example was dempko vs macdonald

We have had too many failures to count.

And you do? It's been reported time and time again that the Flames liked Demko, but were scared off because Demko had not just one, but TWO major surgeries prior to being drafted. The same surgeries that basically derailed Gilles.

There are legitimate reasons for not taking that risk. Canucks put in a ton of extra effort on top of taking a bunch of risk to rehab Demko and are enjoying the fruits of that labour.

But in that draft... I've also said it time and time again. Burke screwed us for that draft with overrides and a bad draft philosophy. The Demko thing sucks, but I don't blame management. I do blame them for basically all the picks in the remainder of that draft though.

ahh does anybody know the difference between two goalie prospects in the 2nd round? These are really shots in the dark.
Comes down to things totally unquantifiable by watching them play junior.

Tod Button hasn't been responsible for goaltender scouting in ages. Sigalet and the respective Stockton goalie coach have been the ones to scout, find, advocate for Parsons, Wolf, Rittich, Zagidulin, and now Chechelev.

Parsons was also a helluva goalie prospect. Carried team USA to a WJC gold medal when they were outplayed in their share of games. Led London to a Memorial Cup win. Simply looked awesome before turning pro. Injuries have derailled his career, not a lack of talent. He has every ounce of talent to be a star #1G in the NHL.

Hahaha I strike a nerve again...
You guys don't look good defending the flames drafting record for goalies.

Indeed it did. Alternate opinions is one thing, but constant ignorant posts is just grating and annoying.

Your comment was the latter since we've constantly been talking about the Demko thing for months now and it was confirmed by Burked in interviews and whatnot. It's basically just pure ignorance as at this point to not know Demko was passed over due to serious injury concerns.

Third string goalies are important. You don’t want to have a season go down the tubes if you get an injury to your starter and or backup. Every point matters and so if you can’t count on your 2nd and third string guys to steal those extra points it could mean missing the playoffs. Your pretty ignorant if you don’t understand that. Look at the coyotes last year when they had injuries to their goalie. This guy has starter experience and signed to league minimum. If you don’t think that’s a good signing you are clueless.

And maybe Tre knows resigning Parsons is: either too risky/ not worthy, or, is being difficult to sign. So getting another league minimum goalie who has some nhl games experiencd is wise. Maybe light-the-fire under Rittich to focus harder and bring his best again.

Typical pro goalie who is not elite. Lousy out front of you equals more pucks behind you, and more losses than wins, inmost cases. Domingue can be a very good goalie, but he needs a good team in front of him, too. Lousy d-play in front if him probably broke his confidence alot and...resulting in poor numbers.

Maybe? Maybe not. But what I see as a bad trend and bad luck, with drafting goalies fof ghe Flames. Probably best to let others draft and develop their goalies and try to pry a good out of other teams
Hope Wolf-man is not turned into another "dustbuster pick" waste!!

Know how to make people respond to you respectfully and actual have discussions with you on a board.
By not making posts like this.

This is from someone who also believes that Calgary's historical history in drafting goalies has been atrocious. I haven't minded anything we've done 2015 onwards really. A lot to like. Getting Rittich for nothing. Zag looks promising, Wolf looks promising... Parsons looked promising, hopefully the kid can recover and find another gear, a real shame about a true gamer.

With Hall out of the equation the dream is dead.

We're definitely rocking Markstrom/Rittich duo next year which is perfectly fine.
