Confirmed with Link: Mazanec Re-Signed 1-Year, 2-way

[NSH615]

So with this I expect some sort of trade of Hutton/Hellberg/Mazanec coming up with Saros coming over next fall.

I could see Hellberg or Maz being part of a package deal. Even Saros if it's big enough.

Glad we kept Maz, he impressed me when Rinne was hurt.

Amazing that he was more impressive in the NHL than the AHL. Just don't want him starting in Milwaukee.

you mean the previous seaon, right? not this past one? Because I think he olny played two or three games this season

I think Maz had what happens when a new goalie with decent skills first gets called up... they play well to start with but then other teams get "the book" on him and his performance drops, which is what happened in 13-14.

he's a decent emergency option but I dont see him ever being a full time NHL backup, especially since it appears he regressed in Milwaukee this year

Seems strange unless a move is coming.
I expected Saros-Hellberg duo in Milwaukee next year.

That's the way I saw it too. I figured Poile wasn't brave enough to dump Hutton so he'd still be the backup and Mazanec would be out. I guess it's possible Saros could end up in Cincy with Hellberg and Mazanec in Milwaukee.

Going back to what people watching the Ads say, maybe the organization sees more in Mazanec than Hellberg, even though the eyeball test says otherwise.

and now we've just signed another goalie to a minor league contract.... curioser and curioser

 

[Privy]

Appears to be a MIL signing, not a NSH signing.

Just a replacement for Madore, but still the question remains what happens next? Does one team roll with 3 goalies, do we have a trade coming up, or does Hellberg walk?
