Judging by the previous discussion, I hereby announce the notion that we refer to this player as 'He Who Destroys Glory and Burns Swamps', in all things and at all times.
I honestly don't know much about this guy. Good stats, seems like his team was low scoring when you look at his GAA, save % and win loss record.
Our scouts have found some diamonds in the rough in Soshnikov. I'll trust them on this.
2015-2016 (Sophomore) Was a member of the 2014-15 Preseason All-NCHC Team … pieced together the fourth longest shutout run (263:58 — a school record) in NCAA history) in late November and early December …. already has four shutouts this season (including a program-high three in a row between Nov. 20-Dec. 4), which is one whitewash shy of the team record held by both Alex Stalock (2008-09) and Brant Nicklin (1997-98) … has tended goal for all of his team’s NCHC games (36 thus far) since the start of the 2014-15 season — the only individual who can make that claim … currently ranks second in the NCHC in goals against average (1.85) and fourth in saves percentage (.923) and has appeared in the highest percentage of his team’s overall minutes (97.598) than all but four netminders in the entire country … has made 31 consecutive starts dating back to Feb. 13, 2014 when the Bulldogs hosted St. Cloud State … was selected the NCHC Goalie of the Week on Nov. 23.
Everything looks really good at first glance.., but I also notcied that he very rarely had to face shots higher than the high 20's..., per game.. Everyone knows that with the Marlies and Leafs, he will almost always be seeing way more...
I was hoping they would bring back MacIntyre for the Marlies.., but Chicago snapped him up recently..

Actually that's a very common misconception. Names ending in -mir are often but incorrectly thought to mean peace. The Wikipedia page for Vladimir has an explanation:

Kasimir likely derives from the Slavic root kaziti, meaning "to destroy":

... which is actually quite fitting, because nearly every Polish King who bore the name was very successful on the battlefield.

Happy to have the kid aboard but count me among those who have never heard of him. His numbers look impressive.
Im hoping we sign them both, then I'd also approve if they drafted one. Finding an above average starting goaltender is hard, take the shotgun approach.
Yeah, if rather this goalie be good.
Right now, yeah. But we are building a team around a system that will limit shots against, so having a goaltender that doesn't need the work load is a positive.
If he doesn't face higher quality of shots against then, an extra 5-10 per game can be fine. Heck, with our system we've managed to help Sparks out at the NHL level.
I most definitely would not bring back MacIntyre to the Marlies though. We need to devote the majority of our roster spots on the farm to development. That would be a step backwards if we brought him back.
