The Goalie Carousel in the NHL

That stinks.

That one stings a little.  We don't really have a Gustavsson to send back, but I'd like to think we could have made something work.

Edit:  Didn't realize that Gustavsson was such a high pick, he looks pretty equivalent to UPL.  So in that case, I'm glad we didn't go this route.

Subban, you're off the carousel ^^^

I’d have dealt UPL for him 

[Thorner]

Ottawa / Buffalo comp. will be an interesting one to keep an eye on. Both of us are rebuilding, they appear to be taking a more “push it forward” route while we appear to be taking a more conservative, run it back type approach. 

DeBrincat vs Hinostroza

Talbot vs (?) Anderson

Minny wanted an NHL backup, not an AHL possible starter.

As long as that AHL starter isn’t our NHL backup then, I guess. As of now, he is. If not the starter

OK, let's rephrase that, they wanted a guy that would be an NHL backup on THEIR team rather than a possible AHL starter for their farm team in return for Talbot.

Does anyone want to make playoffs ? Who cares about UPL he's injured every time 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Kevyn Adams needs to get a clue.

[Buffalonill]

And zero chance we sign Ilya Samsonov with his  Attitude problem and  substance abuse problems

Buffalo will not sign him after reading all he did in Washington on  Capital's message board good luck.

Don’t let it happen again

[Buffalonill]

Anyways here's what I found .

Samsonov missed the 2020 bubble playoffs after reportedly injuring himself in an ATV accident. The two players then ignored NHL COVID-19 protocols early during the 2020-21 season. Both players contracted COVID-19 after playing video games and watching UFC fights maskless in the same hotel room along with Alex Ovechkin and Dmitry Orlov. All four players missed games. Samsonov missed over a month of NHL time and lost his full-time starting goaltending position to rookie Vitek Vanecek in the process. The Capitals were fined $100,000 as a team.

This totally went over my head the first time. Well done. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

So which bones on the NHL goalie carcass are left for Kevyn Adams to fight for?

We can forget potential trade targets Quick, Varlomov and Gibson

Hill and Reimer in SJ are now the most likely trade targets

Kuemper and Campbell are the top UFAs and we are probably looking at Edm and Wash for those two players

That leaves Comrie, Samsonov, Rittich, Greiss  and Jones as UFAs.  Wow, I can smell the stench of next years goaltending from Atlanta.  

Can't wait to see Marvin Jones in net for Buffalo next season.  That should go well.

It’s not like you have a monopoly on this.

[PerreaultForever]

I can't fault KA for not getting Talbot as we didn't have a goalie to send back.

If Comrie is the plan however, KA better step up with a big overpay as rumour has it Toronto interested in adding him as well.
