For this year? IT. DON'T. MATTER.
It really does though. I thought they are trying to change the culture with the young kids. Nothing like polluting this new batch with constant losing.

Well, I don't agree with you about Georgiev, but Khudobin is certainly also a solid option.I'm fine with Anderson as 1B / backup to be honest. He should be a good add to the room & he's on a 1 way deal which suggests he's here to stay. Dell & Tokarski are OK injury cover too.
We obviously need another guy - but i don't think giving up assets for Georgiev is the best answer. As i said - Khudobin should be available right now - plus other guys as we move closer to the start of the season.
Another possibility could be European FAs? Are there any left field guys out there who could come in to the NHL & be at least solid?

I would be surprised if Adams trades a pick for a goalie.
Today, Chicago has two guys they may have to waive to the AHL that might make the Sabres stronger in goal.
Florida might try and pass a guy like Montembeault through waivers if Knight earns an NHL spot.
Washington may try and pass Copley through waivers.
Former Amerk Scott Wedgewood will likely be on waivers.
Nashville will be putting Connor Ingram on waivers.
We can probably claim JJ from the Avs.
And there will be other options. We just have to hope that they don't pass on the chance of claiming this year's Ned.
This.
Khudobin is the only guy I'd give up assets for at this point - because he's pretty good & you might get back what you paid at next year's TDL. Assuming we're not still a laughing stock by that point.
I think he is not yet a proven starter, but as I said, he is still young and he has experience. Maybe 3rd + some average prospect, maybe 2nd as for Vanecek/Hill, but I'm not sure.Do you see him as a legitimate starter & what would you give up for him?
I added Montembeault to the list of waiver candidates in post #1. Missed him. Thanks.I would be surprised if Adams trades a pick for a goalie.

Conflicts sometimes happen, especially since it was Deangelo who seems to have started this conflict first. He requested a trade because he doesn't want to be a backup.

That's quite a lot for a guy you're not even confident can be an average starter.
@Jim Bob - i didn't know Oettinger was waiver exempt. Yeah - that probably changes things there. I just assumed he'd be their 1A with Holtby as the backup. Holtby's signing makes more sense now.
Dallas and Florida could opt to put Otter and Knight in the AHL because they are exempt and they expect to need a third guy throughout the year.
It will be interesting to watch.
Knight should definitely be starting most games in Florida on merit IMO.
Are any AHL goalies ready to make the jump and displace a veteran?
Young goalies like Knight can sometimes flash in a short stretch and regress the next year over the long haul.
It won’t surprise me if he goes to the AHL. Especially if there are technical aspects to his game that the Panthers want to change.
it happened with Hart last season.
I would not put all my money on knight.
I think the pandemic affected a lot of people mentally particularly those whose lives revolve around a routine. When the routine is disrupted some people can't readily adapt.I think a big issue with Hart may have been his decision to stop working with his long time mental skills coach.
I mean everyone else on the team chipped in to buy him a steak dinner for doing that.Conflicts sometimes happen, especially since it was Deangelo who seems to have started this conflict first. He requested a trade because he doesn't want to be a backup.
