For real. That's what I WANT as a Canes fan. If he's not ready now he'll never be. Plus he looked good in preseason. Tired of the team keeping all these goalies they draft in the AHL, never giving them a shot, and then signing other teams castaways for huge contracts sight unseen.
Huh? Since 2010, here are all the goalies the Canes drafted. Only 1 of them, Ned, has even played a full season in the AHL and he's only played 1.5 seasons in the AHL because he was so bad the first year he was sent to the ECHL.
2018: Kucharski has zero seasons in the NHL
2017: Makiniemi has zero seasons in the NHL
2016: Helvig has zero seasons in the NHL
2015: Booth has zero seasons in the AHL (and 28 games in the ECHL)
2014: Ned has 1.5 seasons in the AHL
2012: Altshuller 33 games in the AHL and is was out of hockey last year.
2012: Olson never even made it to the AHL
2011: Mahalak never even made it to the AHL
2010: Andersen refused to sign and was re-drafted
