Makes sense.

NHL - Elliott, Pickard
AHL - Hart, Stolarz
IR - Neuvirth, Lyon

If Stolarz actually played hockey last year, i'm guessing they'd have went with him as backup and then picked up an AHL backup off the trash heap. They must not be comfortable with him as NHL backup since he missed so much time last season.

Stolie could get hurt at anytime and Neurvy is finished. Hart and stloie need to be the goalie in the ahl and Pickard can hold his own but probably not here. Hopefully Elliot can stay healthy.

Interesting to see how this shakes out. Maybe Neuvirth's injury is worse than first anticipated or maybe Hextall is ready to say enough with him. If the G situation improves, they can just put Pickard on waivers again. For those who have seen both play, is Pickard better than Lyon?
