2 names come to my mind : Montoya and Dubnyk
Must be others...
Who do I forget?
Must be others...
Who do I forget?
maybe Harding from Min
already played last year... something like 3-4 games at the end.
Niklas Backstrom, Norrena, Krahn, Mike Smith, Liv, Houle, Schwarz, Beckford-Tseu, Pogge (maybe)
They should a lot less than last year where a lot of kids had a chance to start their first NHL game as a goalie. But still a couple comes to mind who could have their chance either by being a backup or by coming over an injury
Brent Krahn-CAL
Curtis McElhinney-CAL
Kevin Nastiuk-CAR (not a lot of deep in Carolina)
Tyler Weiman-COL
Fredrik Norrena-CBS
Tomas Popperle-CBS
Mike Smith-DAL
Tobias Stephan-DAL
Stefan Liv-DET
Devan Dubnyk-EDM
Jeff Deslauriers-EDM
Barry Brust-LA
Niklas Backstrom-MIN
Jaroslav Halak-MTL
Karl Goehring-NSH (I hate him but with Rinne actually he is #3)
Frank Doyle-NJ
Jordan Parise-NJ
Billy Thompson-NYI
Al Montoya-NYR
Kelly Guard-OTT
Jeff Glass-OTT
Martin Houle-PHI
Rejean Beauchemin-PHI
Marek Schwarz-STL
Chris Beckford-Tseu-STL
Thomas Greiss-SJ
Dmitri Patzold-SJ
Justin Pogge-TOR
Julien Ellis-VAN
Maxime Daigneault-WSH
A lot of those guys are really longshot but I'd be surprise to see more unless a lot of injuries happens to a single team. For me I'd figure that Liv, Smith, Krahn, Norrena, Backstrom and Doyle have the best chance to play at least one game. But it all depends on injuries so who knows?
You guys think Liv gets the call over Howard in Detroit??
Isn't Liv #4 on the depth chart?
Howard's already played an NHL game, so I think he was just listing the next goaltending prospect possibility.
And I would be very surprised if Brust made an NHL game. If we get a goaltending prospect playing, I'm guessing either Munce or Fukufuji.

As for L.A. Brust had a pretty decent year last year, we'll see whom of Fukufuji or Munce will play in AHL this year and you're right that they could get the call before Brust, but Brust has the more experience right now.

How about Nolan Schaefer?
As For Schwarz, and Beckford-Tseu I am almost postive they wont see action this year with Legace, Bacashihuia, and Sanford ahead in the depth charts.
Not to Mention Marek was just recently cut by the Blues... not sure about Beckford-Tseu however.

Brust is a gamer, hes never been much of a standout in camps. Id think hed be 2nd choice behind Fuji for a callup due to the fact the Fuji would bring a media circus with him.Brust definitely has the experience and he looked good in the ECHL, but I wasn't too impressed with him at prospect development camp. Awesome personality, though. When I mentioned to him that no programs were out yet, so I didn't know who was who, he's like "Oh, O'Sullivan's #26" like he knew exactly who I was looking for
Otherwise, all the other goalies had a better overall showing in my limited viewings.
actually he is #4
1. vokoun
2. mason
3. rinne
You are right, he is number 4 behind Rinne, but I believe Rinne is being injured for the first months of the season so if an injury occurs in Nashville Goehring might be call-up.
Many of those guys I've named are actualy #4 or even #5 at time and many factors depends. Like in St-Louis they already have 3 NHL caliber goalie but there is a chance that Sanford or Bacashihua got pick from waivers from other teams letting Schwarz or Beckfrod-Tseu moving ahead in the depth chart. Same with LaBarbera in L.A. or a move happening with the goalie situation in San Jose. And of course it depends on injuries.
Just last year who would have though that Rob McVicar, Chris Holt, Adam Berkhoel would have start their first NHL game?
Kevin Nastiuk-CAR (not a lot of deep in Carolina)
