Is Juuse Saros the best goalie age 23 and under in the NHL?

[MessierII]

He looks like a god against Edmonton every time. I think he’s stopped 70 some straight shots against us.

Gibson.

Andersen as well

"Vezina level defense" hahaha

I wonder if these people watch NSH games to make dumb statements like that

Nah, it‘s called natural talent.

Is goalie size fetishism the new thing now when it doesn’t work for skaters anymore?

Next up at The Onion: "NHL deems goalies not driving a Ford Super Duty as unfit for service".

Saros is the only under 23 goalie in the league.

No, NYR have Georgiev who is a year younger than Saros.

I would prefer Georgiev over Saros. Georgiev is still on a cheap ELC while Saros makes 1.5M. Georgiev lost the first game but his team played b2b, his second game was great.

So who plays tonight, Saros or Grosenick, how long will Rinne be out?

 

[egelband]

Yes! Who?

The larger body will stop more pucks than the smaller body. It is what it is.

So was Petr Mrazek not so long ago. Goalies are strange.

I’m a fan of Geo’s team. No way would I take Geo over Saros.

Let's pump the breaks here. There was another Nashville backup that was touted to be starter material, and his name was Anders Lindback. Could we just be seeing that situation again?

Saros was never really tested with starter workloads and since most teams are using starter workloads Saros is only a wildcard. Once he has to play starter workloads he will fall back down like most goalies do. If he would develop into a real starter I wouldn't want him anyway, he would be expensive and it guarantees nothing, see Rinne last playoffs.

The team is a big factor, i.e. how Kuemper performed in LA and in Arizona last season, big difference. Big advantage for Saros in Nashville.

Georgiev is 1 year younger and should play AHL for development. I would rather have Georgiev in the AHL and McElhinney in the NHL who was even better than Saros last season and still save over 500k than Saros for 1.5M.

Absolutely no one takes Georgiev over Saros except for you.
