Good to see he's locked up. Could be a great deal if Murray shits the bed again. Gus was solid last season.

 

[Sureves]

My hot take is this guy will be a Vezina competitor. The last time I was this high on a prospect was Rundblad and that didn’t exactly pan out, but the guy looked awesome last year.

 

[Altimus]

Fantastic signing, super happy with the value.

FG is super good

 

[Taytro]

One of the better goalie prospects I've followed in a long time. Hopefully he turns out, could be absolutely massive for Ottawa.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I dont see huge, huge upside, but I definitely think he's an NHL goalie and am very happy with this signing. I see him as a guy who should be able to put in 30-50 solid games a year down the line, and maybe as soon as year 2 of the deal.

 

[BonMorrison]

Is he gonna be the backup this year or will Forsberg so he can start in the AHL?

 

[Pia8988]

Awful deal for Gustavsson. Basically guarantees he's starting in the AHL when he was arguably the best goalie in Ottawa last year. Small sample still, but waiver exempt and the lower salary. AHL bound.

He already was gonna be starting in the AHL, hence why Forsberg was brought in. Sens were never gonna give him a 1-way deal for this season off of a 9-game stint, especially given he has really struggle in previous years and has never really been the starter in the A. Honestly, I'm more concerned about what will happen if Sogaard steals the starting job for him.

Future starter!

Forsberg is going to be gone by November/December when a team is hit with goaltending injuries (as long as it isnt Murray). Gus is going to be and playing more than the average backup. Small concession on his end to get some money locked up for a good 9 game stint. He was able to lock up nearly a million. Its not a small amount for a guy trying to break into and hold an nhl spot

Eh, it's really not much. It's a great deal for the Sens. Horrible for Gustavvson.

Saw his first pro game

He will be a starter

I think you mean future Stanley Cup Winner David Rundblad.

I'm seeing high potential in him... Legit no.1 starter

as for OP, I'm happy to see this... would have prefer a year or two extra on the contract but in general it's more than fine
now Eugene, finish the work with B. Tkachuk & D. Batherson please

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

He’ll still be an RFA when this expires and that’s all OTT should care about. Two year window for Gus to establish himself as an NHLer.

 

[SensFactor]

Nice Signing. Sens can turn their collective attention to signing Tkachuk and Batherson now.
