Proposal: Goaltending options?

[Northernhawk]

Well well well...it only took 10 games for both injury prone goalies to go down, Stalocks’ story this year has inspiring but unfortunate events happen...what will the Hawks do, more importantly what will Davidson do to maintain goaltending in both Chicago and Rockford? Here’s some options, and I look forward to seeing everyone else’s thoughts...

1. Sign a free agent?

Which are few and far between, capfriendly has 30 yr old former Hawk JFBerube who’s currently playing Charlotte(AHL) and 28 yr old Elmhurst, I’ll. native Garret Sparks listed as the two remaining UFA.

2. Trade for a pending UFA netminder that could get something back at deadline?

Examples like the SJ boys James Reimer and Aaron Dell, Collin Delia in Vancouver’s system, Anthony Stolarz in Anaheim...

3. Call up our only other signed goalie Jaxson Stauber?

Going with both Soderblom and Stauber would defiantly be the easiest option. Soderblom looks ready while Stauber hasn’t even been able to lock down a starting spot in Rockford yet. Rockford could go with Dylan Wells and Mitchell Weeks both AHL contracts

4. Look for to Europe?

Not sure how this would work, not sure if players would after clear waivers and of course their not going to be here pronto but Ivan Nalimov and Matt Tomkins are familiar to Chicago

Stauber got injured last game.

 

[Wally1112pac]

How long is Stalock out for? If he was concussed it could be anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months.

It wasn't his fault he run over by Mendoza from the Mighty Ducks movies.

There's always an AHL/NHL tweener that can be had for a 5th rounder. Didn't Subban get traded for one last year?

 

[Northernhawk]

Stauber got injured last game.

I see
That Weeks was already called up to Rockford from Indy...yikes! Well we’ve had both Carter Hutton and Scott Darling start their careers via AHL deals after going through other organizations...we signed Cale Morris sign a contract last year...will Wells or Weeks get deals? Both?

Neither. Weeks is on a 2 year Ahl deal and wells is just a veteran echl placeholder. Maybe a trade or a signing of a more veteran.

 

[clydesdale line]

Even other teams want the Hawks to tank properly.

Option 5 it is...

 

[Northernhawk]

Well now let’s see...

#1 Mrazek injured
#2 Stalock injured
#3 Soderblom left after 2 periods
#4 Stauber injured
newly signed #5 Wells enters in the 3rd period, yikes!

Who’s next? Mitchell Weeks won tonight for Rockford. Rockford signed Owen Savory the same day Blackhawks signed Dylan Wells...man o man

Dylan Wells became the 996th player in history to play for the Chicago Blackhawks...we’ll hit 1000 this year through goalies alone!

 

[Hattrick Kane]

If Dallas is willing to pay to dump Khudobin, then go with that.

 

[Hinterland]

When can we expect to get a Söderblom update? Still nothing out there it seems.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Mrazek has been activated off of IR.

 

[Giovi]

Looks like Soderblom is healthy.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If you use Twitter Ben Pope is an excellent follow for Blackhawks updates.

 

[Hakoon]

I thought Arvid looked really good.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Looks like Soderblom is healthy.

Will Wells get a night in his honor at UC in future?

Still likely fun for him to have dream of playing in NHL come true

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Yep. Been saying it for a while, but these HF Blackhawks goons keep saying he’s Laz Jr. haha

I don't pay him a ton of attention but I don't see a lot of opinion from him and Laz was a good reporter when he was just reporting.

If they need a goalie, they can always trade for one with a late pick.

 

[yzerman]

Could very well be the goaltender of the future for Chicago

 

[MicronMega]

Could very well be the goaltender of the future for Chicago

He has looked pretty good for a young goalie playing with a rebuilding roster. He looks legit, hopefully the injury was minimal. Ottawa may have to waive a goalie here soon. They have Talbot back, Forsberg and Hellberg

 

[Mrfenn92]

Mrazek and Soderblom both practicing today

 

[yzerman]

Yes he has pretty big potential ,and with more experince going forward he is going to be more poised and calm and with his mobility in net i think it is very hopefull.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Good news on Soderblom just a hydration issue. Cramped up.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Good news on Soderblom just a hydration issue. Cramped up.

Good news Johnson is skating, thought he would out much longer. Though it hurts the tank, both him and Seth make the hawks a much better offensively and entertaining to watch, Johnson and Toews seemed to be developing some chemistry and Jones is our only d-man who can initiate the offence
