Paterson isn't allowed by rules to be up next season because of that junior eligibility unless he is in Detroit and that just isn't happening.
He is impressive when he doesn't have to play with that team just look at the month with team Canada where people raved about him. He is the odds on starter for Team Canada at the next WJC, him and Fucale will battle it out.
Having Mrazek and Paterson at this point is pretty good depth, better than it has been in a while although we will have to wait and see how Paterson does as Team Canada #1 and a pro.
Still agree with this signing, but think we have solid goaltender depth in the system with a couple guys having high upside. Better than it has been in a while and not bottom ten in the league.
Next year would be his overage year, right? If so, Paterson can either go pro or stay in junior. If he has another underage year left then I'm mistaken and he has to stay put.
