We're on fire!

Going to have a rough back up. Ideally I wanted someone to take time away from Vasy.

 

[Point21]

if he can play 25+ games and win at least half, should be fine

Going to have a rough back up

He's close, he's cheap.

We're really might be saving dollars for one bigger signing.

 

[FinnLightning26]

How does this guy keep getting contracts? Probably the worst goalie in the NHL/AHL.

Three holes filled for about 4.4M. Not bad. Have more flexibility to spend.

He won't because he can't stop a beachball.

 

[Zwui21]

I like this, we don't need a top tier backup to sub in for Vas.

At least we are forced to play some structured D during the season already

 

[Felonious Python]

I figured Johnasson was a signing for Syracuse, but

Vasi
Johansson
Alnefelt
Tomkins
Fitzpatrick - AHL deal

 

[The Gongshow]

So much for giving Vasy rest. We won't be getting many Ws with that backup and might have our points total be down this season

If Johansson is the backup we're better off with the corpse of Elliott.

Anders Lindback 2.0?

Hope he's solid.

Both EP and CapFriendly have Johansson as a minor leaguer.

That’s what he is. A 3rd goalie. Hose is right that he’s a guy you sign and waive in the hopes of stashing in the AHL. That’s what Colorado did last season and not only was he the best of their 3 AHL goalies (2.33 GAA, 920 sv%) but he was very good in a couple of spot starts with Colorado. He’s huge at 6’5” and still young at 27. I keep saying this, but apparently there are some trolls (maybe young kids?) on this board who want to sh** all over every move, but this isn’t one to beef about. He’s certainly not the worse goalie in hockey smdh

I’m still thinking we sign an older backup goalie like Rittich for $1M. Martin Jones would be an ideal backup but I assume he’ll make more than we can afford.

I don't think he plays enough to determine if he's bad.

 

[Hoek]

Super small sample size but how did he put up those numbers last season. Was it all against Arizona or something? Would be cool if he could shore up the goaltending in Syracuse at least.

Actually four holes filled three forwards and a backup keeper.
