Leafs Roster analysis - Goalies - Ben Scrivens

[member 147413]

I will be going through our roster and injured players and we will determine the players role... i.e Kessel (Elite winger) vs (1A winger) vs (1B winger) vs (2A winger)

This is not determining their role for the team, but what they're capable of on a playoff team. I'll only be putting what in my mind are "realistic" options.

Term definitions:

Elite: Top 5 in their position
1A: 1st line/1st pairing/#1 Goalie
1B: Able to fill in 1st line/1st pairing/Average Starter
2A: 2nd line/2nd pairing/Back-up
2B: Able to fill in 2nd line/2nd pairing/Too good for AHL Starter but not proven
3A: 3rd line/3rd pairing
3B Able to fill in 3rd line/3rd pairing
4A 4th line
4B: Able to fill in 4th line
Scratch: 13th player/7th dman
AHL player: Self explanatory

I'll be starting from the net out.

Scrivens is a 2A

 

[The Reaper]

Scrivens is a 2A goalie, he has horrible, horrible rebounds which leads to goals, he can improve that tho, but he is nothing but a back-up goalie

 

[rdawg1234]

2A as well, with potential to be a 1B kind of goalie.

He's a great backup, but inconsistent, that rebound control can be brutal as well.

I'd say he's just a slightly worse version of reimer, same kind of glove hand, but smaller and gives up rebounds more often.

 

[The Reaper]

Also, Scrivens needs to work on his five-hole

I'm sorry but this thread annoys me, there IS already a thread asking where everyone fits in, why not ask the question AGAIN there? I'll repeat myself one more time, IMO Scrivens is at best a backup, thats all she wrote....

 

[Baarle*]

yea, these won't last long. You need to keep it in one thread, can't have 23 different threads

 

[p.l.f.]

i think he would be best suited as a 2A
but he'd do ok as a 1B

I'm expecting Reimer/Scrivens to continue giving us good minutes with no drop off in play. We are set in net unless they are both injured at once. 1B
