Confirmed with Link: MOAR GOALIES!!!! (Kochetkov and Makiniemi both get 2 year/$850K ELCs)
- Thread starter TheReelChuckFletcher
- Start date
Cross your fingers and hope for a future 1B. I'm pumped to see Kochetkov actually get some games.

Capfriendly already has the details:
Eetu Mäkiniemi - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Pyotr Kochetkov - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Kochetkov has an European Assignment clause, meaning that in case he was sent to minors he has the right to be sent to the overseas team of his own choice instead. Which assumably would be in KHL.
Both have Games Played bonus of $82,500 for all seasons; except Makiniemi $32,500 for his second season. They forfeit a bit in their (speculative) NHL Base Salary, but in case they actually play 10+ games in the NHL, they get paid this bonus for it.

Im not surprised that we waited until Koch’s contract was officially over until signing him.
Glad we signed both

That makes sense; this way Kochetkov is likely to go back to Europe next season while Makiniemi and Warm are in Chicago.

I imagine Makiniemi will be assigned to our nonexistent ECHL team, and Kochetkov splits time with Warm (and maybe another Nashville goalie) next year in Chicago.
Oh I didn't see Koch won't be coming over immediately. Still, net could be crowded in Chicago.

It's funny how a little bit of success from Ned has amped our optimism for the goaltending pipeline.
The pendulum will likely swing back in the other direction, but c'est la vie.

I assume he will stay with Ilves as a loan.

Of the two, I hope it is Kochetkov that is getting AHL time (if he stays). Makiniemi is already the number 1 in Ilves. Kochetkov keeps getting pushed around. Some consistency might do him good

Was thinking this. Now Laf looks at this and thinks it’s quite crowded goalie situation over here, especially with Ned grabbing the bull by it’s horns.

Not necessarily. Any of these guys could be potential trade bait considering the aggressive FO's love of trades to improve the big team. Laffer very well could still be in the Canes' plans.

Re: Lafontaine
I’m not sure this changes anything. Those guys were already in our pipeline and likely to get a contract at some point in the near future. He would have known that.
He may go UFA next year, but I’m not sure holding off on any goalie signings would prevent it. Nor should the team hold off because of the possibility.

i think i saw somewhere that makiniemi has another year on his ilves contract, so of the two it is more likely he'd be loaned back and kochetkov would be in the ahl. (in the situation where neither comes in an becomes an nhl roster goalie, anyway)
Eetu Mäkiniemi, Antti Saarela ja Roby Järventie jatkavat Ilveksessä • Tampereen Ilves
google translation of this article says Makiniemi’s contract has a team option for this coming season, but reading that I’m not sure if the option was for 20-21 or coming for 21-22.
If it is Raleigh or Ilves next season so be it. He’s signed now, so no Andersen scenario.
I want one of them or both to Be Vasi on Steroids!.

Kochetkov has been loaned back to the KHL:
But are the Canes in LaFontaine’s plans?
I doubt it at this point. He will play his 5th year and almost certainly go on the post college FA market. There have to be easier pipelines to fight through than 2 recent draft picks and one undrafted signed to play already, even if they can go back to start in Europe.
Hopefully his deal with the Canes gives him some leverage to actually start a couple games next year.
Kochetkov has played in 33 games for 6 different teams over the past 2 seasons combined. As a 21 year old goalie in the prime of his development that is disappointing, to put it mildly.

I was under the impression they wanted him over here ASAP so he can play a lot. That’s what it said in the hockey news little blurb about him. Glad he’s signed but he should be over here.
who's our local khl expert? what does the goalie room look like for torpedo? hopefully the kid will get to carry a better load than the last couple years.

They have a 25 year old with one more year who started 29 games with a 2.49 and a .923.
there other 17 game starter’s contract ran out.
