KK definitely needs more time before we can see what he really is, or can be, but getting a goalie besides Dubnyk who has starting NHL goalie talent would be huge. For all our worries about C(justifiably), G is by far our thinnest position. I thought Michalek was going to be something, then he just ...disappeared...sort of like a Spinal Tap drummer.
We've had a few goalie prospects that looked like they'd be something and then weren't.KK definitely needs more time before we can see what he really is, or can be, but getting a goalie besides Dubnyk who has starting NHL goalie talent would be huge.

Hackett and Kuemper both come to mind. Good thing we traded Hackett away before he fell flat off the face of the Earth.
Isn't he listed at 6'1For years I‘ve been voting him as our best prospect.
Looks just like expected.
He is a big goalie and hence develops later. Just like Dubnyk...or Rinne.
I think he could take over from Dubnyk. They just need to teach him Dubes vision and positioning skills.
I checked...he is 6‘2.Isn't he listed at 6'1
Hackett really looked like the real deal for a while. Now he plays frickin ACHW hockey for Rosetown Redwings! Wonder what went wrong there.
