I dont know why, but that link always is the one linked when I used the button.

But i fixed it

Wow. What does that say about how they view Kochetkov? I’ll admit I’m not bullish on him … but certainly I wouldn’t think Raanta/Kochetkov was giving up on the season or anything.

It is likely that Raanta is also injury prone as well

My guess is also that they want to keep 3 goalies

 

[Borsig]

38 year old goalie to go with our 38 year old d man.


What could go wrong

Probably a wise idea when Auntie is known to not be able to handle an extended starter load without injuries and PK is voodoo.

Why not perets though? He looked decent in preseason

Probably not wanting 2 rookies in PK and Perets if Raanta goes down

Not sure if I have ever seen a more injury prone goalie than Andersen…wow

Well by the sound of it this one might be a general health issue.

This doesn’t sound injury related but medical issue related.

I think it's more buying now for a potential Raanta injury.

Also could be signing Halak to offer to Syracuse as a Kochetkov replacement if they do need to call up Kochetkov for an indefinite period.

 

[Borsig]

The way this sounds is we are looking at a Kotchetkov Auntie paring going forward.

To me it tells me that Andersens injury is serious and they are looking at a long term 3rd stringer, not a back up replacement.

It's not an injury. That makes it worse.

Perets looked pretty good during the pre-season. I'd like to see him get a shot. Kochetkov hasn't looked great outside of that initial run he had...

I don’t know for sure … but I doubt Halak would want to play in the minors at all. NHL or bust, I imagine.

 

[HisIceness]

Well Halak will get his shot and hopefully for us he finds a way to turn the clock back to 2010.

I think you mean Kochetkov has looked good other than the first 10 days where the Canes looked bad.

 

[Borsig]

We're literaly playing NHL2010.

Burns. Halak. J Staal..... All we need now is Stastny back

I think you mean Kochetkov has looked good other than the first 10 days where the Canes looked bad.

He means last year in Dec. Other than that run Kochetkov has looked decent at best, and nowhere near what he looked like when we signed him

 

[MinJaBen]

Depending on what they find out about Andersen, they might just keep Halak and Pyotr up full time. With a possible LTIR of Freddy, that should be easy at least contractually. And with Halak likely being a "incase of emergencies, break glass" kind of acquisition, he can be the odd man out in most practices as well.

 

[Tryamw]

The main reason not to use LTIR is to Build up some cap. for a Late trade

You don’t have to look much farther than the other goalie on our roster to find one. Also, this isn’t even an injury with Andersen so odd time to make that comment.

Perets should be nowhere near the nhl right now. No need to risk ruining his development by rushing him. It’s not like he’s playing lights out in Norfolk either.
