We're probably the last team in the NHL who needs new goaltending.
We have thibault for a few more year, provided he can recover, which is likely, he'll be putting up star numbers for a little while.
Eventually though, he'll have to leave. Then you can pretty much pick a name out of a hat. Michael Leighton is a good bet, and he showed many good games while up here. He does need to work on his consistancy, but he'll be a pretty good goalie in the future
Or Craig Anderson. I'm not as high on him, as he still needs to learn several fundamentals, yet has no one to teach them to him. Could be a good backup, though.
Or Michael Ayers. Strugling a bit this year, but was Collegiate goalie of the year last year. Again, needs to work on consistancy, but he could easily become a #1 canidate.
Or Corey Crawford. Putting up great numbers in the minors this year. Could be challenging for the #1 spot in a few year.
Or Mike Brodeur. No relation, but suprised everyone at training camp this year. He will really be watched in the next few year, and could potentionally challenge for the #1.
We're set for many years and then some.
