The "Other" Goalie Thread "No More Space Travel" Edition

[Damaged Goods]

Would it be feasible to sign Luongo for 4 years $15 M if he's bought out? Perhaps it's possible to get him a good margin under 'market rate.' He's already double-dipping and the Flyers might be the most attractive destination (although Florida could have greater appeal for him).

Eklund thinks we are getting Luongo, not via trade:

Eklund's just being an excited fan and passing it off as rumor.

 

[Flyerss]

just put Grossmann there maybe it will work

for some reason I picture him...

Eklund: "I hope the Flyers get Luongo. That would be a smart move"

2 minutes later on his website: Luongo to Philly e3

 

[Jack Straw]

What happened to Hiller to make everyone so down on him?

I would definitely take Hiller.

 

[Curufinwe]

What happened to Hiller to make everyone so down on him?

Vertigo, probably.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

1. Luongo (if he gets bought-out)
2. Emery
3. Thomas

That's my wishlist in order to replace Bryz.

 

[Damaged Goods]

Does Anton Khudobin have potential starting/platoon ability?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Vertigo, probably.

Yep. His past vertigo problems and Emery's issues make me reluctant.

 

[Curufinwe]

Does Anton Khudobin have potential starting/platoon ability?

I think so. And Boston are going to need a cheaper backup if they have to pay Rask a ton of money.

 

[starbuck97]

I think Mason is the starter right now, unless they trade for Hiller who is my first choice.

Here is my list of possibilities I would start with:

Hiller: Gonna cost a lot in a trade; will need to be signed this year
Khudobin: Unrestricted FA with potential, my 2nd choice
Greiss: Unrestricted FA with a little potential
Luongo: Only on a cheap short contract after his buyout
Nabokov: Only on a cheap short contract
Thomas: Only on a cheap short contract
Halak: Only for a cheap trade; will need to be signed this year
Pavelec: Just throwing him in here if Winnipeg finds another starter
Neuvirth: Would Washington trade within the division now?


Theres also some young AHL goalies that I would inquire about to see how much it would cost in a trade, to get some depth after Mason:

Kuemper (minn)
Svedberg (bos)
Hackett (buff)
Cal Pickard (colo)
Campbell (dall)
Mrazek (det)

Same here except I'd place Emery after Thomas. Mainly because Emery plays the same style Bryz does.

 

[sa cyred]

I'd go for Anton Khudobin. The market is thin, but I do think he has shown enough to get a place to try and win the starting position. He is also pretty good from the one game I saw him play.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I'd go for Anton Khudobin. The market is thin, but I do think he has shown enough to get a place to try and win the starting position. He is also pretty good from the one game I saw him play.

If we are going to go with a mid-twenties goalie with a little experience and some potential, I would take Greiss over Khudobin. Greiss is a year younger and has double the games under his belt. Greiss's stats aren't as nice as Khudobin's (.912/2.52 vs. .933/2.02), but I am completely confident in saying that Khudobin's numbers would come down a lot if given more playing time.

 

[Flukeshot]

I think Greiss will likely sign where ever he thinks he will get the most starts, which may not be in the NHL.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Sign Chris Mason so we can have Mason/Mason

Mason, Mason and Heeter Law firm

I've never seen Emery duck a shot

 

[hckyplayer8]

Lou is as fragile as Bryz. I'm really shocked people want him here.

 

[Curufinwe]

Lou is as fragile as Bryz. I'm really shocked people want him here.

I don't think he is. His playoff record is significantly superior.

 

[RJ8812*]

Lou is as fragile as Bryz. I'm really shocked people want him here.

not even close

you're just believing what the media tells you about him

 

[Flyer Mike]

If anything I want no part of Miller. Another goalie who talks too much to the media? No thank you. I've seen enough of that.

 

[sa cyred]

If we are going to go with a mid-twenties goalie with a little experience and some potential, I would take Greiss over Khudobin. Greiss is a year younger and has double the games under his belt. Greiss's stats aren't as nice as Khudobin's (.912/2.52 vs. .933/2.02), but I am completely confident in saying that Khudobin's numbers would come down a lot if given more playing time.

I like Greiss so I'm fine with that. Hasn't been given an opportunity to start and the guy has done well when he has played. In the end though don't know how I feel with a Mason/Greiss combo. Well I guess it's more so two unproven guys who could be good but don't know yet.

 

[dats81]

Undecided.

Hope that one of the younger under-the-radar guys like Khudobin or Greiss may flourish in Philly after a change of scenery


vs.

picking the safe route with a solid but unspectacular Veteran like Emery, Nabby,... the question is how worn out are these guys?

 

[SnS]

Emery/Thomas

Khudobin maybe.
