Speculation: Young Goaltender to NJ

[Nico the Draft Riser]

While Schneider is an amazing goaltender when healthy, he is turning 33 next March and NJ likely wont be a contender for another two years. By then Schneider will be 35+

Young prospects, young backups, young starters... as long as the goaltender is young and skilled, give an offer and lets see where this goes!

edit: this exercise is for the instance that Schneider doesnt end up being a goalie who plays incredibly well into his late 30s. Its possible but would you bet on it as a GM?

Carter Hart for a first.



Jk, Flyers' fans probably got pissed for a second. Any goalie prospect that is looking to be pretty good is probably not for sale (Hart, Demko, etc.). The other option is to try a Grubauer-type backup who was stashed behind a talented starter but there's a risk with that. How's Blackwood doing?

He hasn't really been playing well in his EARLY 30's so I wouldn't bet on it. In terms of young goalies, if you want a good young one then draft one. Young goalies with starter potential are never made available. You could target a lower level guy like Sparks, doubt anyone better would be available.

Capable goalies are a dime a dozen in the current NHL an the cost to get them isn't all that high. I'm sure Ray has a plan an it won't be giving up anything truly significant to fulfill it.

It's so weird that Cory Schneider will be 33... feels like just yesterday he was a rookie with the Manitoba Moose.

Really? Ask the Isles and Canes how their search has been going.

I agree we need a young goalie maybe Garrett Sparks from Toronto, Aarron Dell from San Jose, Anthony Stolarz from Philadelphia, but we also have Mackenzie Blackwood in our system

 

[Devilsfan92]

Assuming the Blue Jackets re-sign Bob, I’d like for Shero to make a move for Korpisalo

I wonder what he’d cost however?

Could probably get stolarz for cheap the flyers have a bunch of borderline ahl starter/nhl backup goalies plus good young guys pushing them out. Honestly a 3rd would probably get it done.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

we have a couple of talented goalies in the system in Blackwood, Johnson, and Schmid

we also have Schneider (hopefully healthy after his surgery) and Kinkaid for at least another year

not sure we are in the position to be giving up assets for goalies

 

[Tripod]

Reality is, the Flyers will have to waive Lyon and Stolarz if they keep Elliott and Neuvirth on the Flyers. So one could get grabbed but the issue is that they have to stay in the NHL. Unless they clear waivers, then a trade is made afterwards.

With Hart being the clear future in net for PHI why don’t they see about what picks they could get for the expendable goalies? NJ got a 5th for Wedgewood last season presumably one or two of the extra goalies could bring something similar or a bit better?

 

[Hally BlackWood]

well sparks and or Calvin Pickard will have to clear waivers

I think that could still happen. Stolarz losing a whole season due to injury really messed things up IMO. And right now, I think they see who looks the best at camp and tries to do what they can to keep him, and move someone else.

last year having Elliott, Neuvirth, AND Stolarz hurt at the same time would likely make Hextall gun shy about trading away depth. Especially when he could trade one now, then lose another thru waivers in Oct.

That is true but out of all the guys said you have to believe Aarron Dell from San Jose is the closest to a number one but Stolarz is like 6'6 So he covers a lot of net.

Sparks has some potential and would come at a cheap cap hit. Will probably take short term just to prove himself as NHL capable. Had a great year with the AHL but who knows.

 

[Kaibur]

I've been wondering if Arizona is planning on moving a goalie. Coyotes depth in goal at pro level:
Raanta
Kuemper
Hill
Miska
Madsen
Langhamer - Rights/European loan
Plus, they just drafted two more goalie prospects in the '18 Draft (Prosvetov and Tendeck).

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I like Aaron Dell but he is 29

he isn't a "young goaltender"

 

[Devilsrock17]

If I had to choose I go Aarron Dell cause if Kinkaid has another solid year he will be traded and Eddie Lack will walk in free agency. Schneider could become the backup to limit his time due to injuries and Dell could be our young new number one.

Yeah...the transitions are always expensive. The 1A and 1B scenario works if there is capspace.

that isnt going to happen man

plus Kinkaid is only signed 1 more year, how could they trade him if he has a good year?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Edmonton actually has a good bit of depth for goalie prospects now.

Keeping in mind it would take a really good offer, what would you offer for Stuart Skinner? He outdueled Hart in the WHL final.

Getting Rodrigue this draft was a great add.

They would trade Kinkaid cause if he has another good year he's gonna ask for a higher pay but they need to sign hall and Hischier to long term that's why they trade kinkaid

 

[rent free]

Schneider isn't that good when healthy and barring trades, you could probably pick up a goalie off waivers from the leafs, as two of pickard, mcelhinney or sparks will be waived.

How do you figure?

Dude was rocking .915+ SV% and <2.25 GAA until his injury last year. He was lights out for a very, very bad Devils team from 2013 to 2016.

I’ll be the first to call his stretch in 2018 absolutely horrid, but you can’t just dismiss him as “not that good” given the rest of his body of work.

As it relates to the OP, I don’t see a need to spend assets on a goalie prospect. They’re way to fickle to try to project, let alone mortgage assets on.
