Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo

[Pyrophorus]

Yup, but the tweet from leafspr states that the contract starts next season, so he won't play this season.

Its Bibeau/Sparks for the playoffs

KK wasn't around for clear day, so he can't play anyways.

 

[TLeafsFan]

The only highlight I can find on this guy, is his behind the back save (which was pretty cool though).

Yeah that's pretty sick!

 

[Bullseye]

Looks good!

Oops same link as above. Ya good size and experience.

 

[Jeypic]

Heres a good write up on him

Looks like a great signing.

Not sure how he went undrafted with those numbers in NAHL

 

[The Examiner]

Yeah that's pretty sick!

Nice play by that Murphy guy to get the chance. The Leafs should sign him.

SEER will be facing his toughest challenge yet in getting a highlight pack for this guy.

He's already scrambling I'll bet,

I wonder if that means we're out on Lyon.

 

[burpsalot]

Kasimir Kaskisuo?

That's got to be a pretend name. I think it's really John Smith but he wants a European handle.

 

[StuckOutHere]

I wonder if that means we're out on Lyon.

That's what I was wondering too. Hell, sign him too. And draft Hart. We have nothing in terms of high upside depth.

"comparable in net - Carey Price"

I'll take that as a positive sign.

 

[Sniper99]

Always wanted a Kasimir Kaskisuo jersey.

Interesting...

Yeah, actually. Not a lot of games under his belt.

 

[Calacatz]

Hope they sign the Latvia kid too to create some healthy competition.
Where was a Mark Hunter and staff during the Pogge, Rask and Raycroft scouting? Even when we thought we hit the lottery with the Monster it blew up in our face!
I have more faith in the current brass to get this right!

 

[TLeafsFan]

So Kaskisuo has the Hart of a Lyon?

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Never heard of him but I have faith in our staff and is of course therefor pleased we signed him.

 

[ToneBone03]

First thing that came to my mind too!!

Anyone else looking forward to hearing Don Cherry's pronunciation of this during his first HNIC game?? I can't wait.

 

[SprDaVE]

Cool. I guess Armalius from the SHL fell through. And doubtful that Lyon is a target now.

THW: What would you say would be your greatest asset or strength to teams looking at you for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft?

KK: Probably my technique. I try to be pretty calm and relaxed in the net, not make many extra movements, and always have a chance to make a save.

 

[Menzinger]

Glad to hear it - caught a couple Duluth games this year, fun team to watch.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Cool. I guess Armalius from the SHL fell through. And doubtful that Lyon is a target now.

I can still see one of those two coming still TBH.

 

[Socreges]

Fantastic move!

 

[Ed Belfour]

Well that's cool. Good name. Strong goalie name.

Everything I've read and heard is overly positive
