Six goalies so far. They apparently could break a record if he starts a game. From SportsTalkPhilly: "Only three teams in NHL history have played seven goaltenders in a single season. No team in NHL history has started seven different goalies in a season. Saturday is Game 41 for the Flyers, marking the halfway point of the 2018-19 season."

Quantum Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 My guess is that the Comets will ride with two AHL contract goalies with the hopes that McKenna hits the waiver wire again and so the Canucks can claim him and send him right to Utica once Philly's other goalies get healthy. Conversely, after watching the Spengler Cup, I'd love to see the Canucks try and pry Zach Fucale out of Vegas. Fucale is in the ECHL for them this year and hasn't had much of a chance to play AHL games. He'd be an interesting project for the rest of the season (and possibly beyond, being a Bachman replacement if he works out). I bet the Canucks could deal the rights to like a Dmitry Zukenov or Kristoffer Gunnarsson for him or maybe "future considerations?" That also said, CometsCory on twitter suggested the Canucks look into signing Jeff Zatkoff (currently playing in Germany, AHL Vet, has worked with Ian Clark) as another option... Could be an option but if he does sign the Canucks would still have to waive him to get him to the AHL so the same problem may occur... Again. Weird interesting conundrum but happy McKenna is collecting more NHL salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 We should look into signing Denis Godla. He just recently helped his team win the Spengler Cup against Canada and I remember his name from an impressive World Junior performance a few years back. He's only 23, but I'm not expecting big things from him. If he becomes an AHL regular, then that itself is a win. Only downside is he's on the shorter side being only 5'10, but we have high hopes for DiPietro who's 6'0. I wonder if he has an out clause.

Lets say Philly knows they only need him for a week do they give Canucks a heads up that is the intent or is this always a blind side when it comes to wavers.

Well considering teams put in a claim and we find out by the next day who actually gets the player based on priority, I doubt there's any need to let the team know because another team could swoop them up anyway if they were higher in the pecking order. It would be a nice thing for GMs to do to give a heads up, but I doubt it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 This would have never happened if we had a bigger meaner GM. Where's the response. JB should be flying to philli with intent on punching every resident in the nose. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Understand why Philly did it, given their goalie situation, but still a bit surprised, considering the way gentlemen’s agreements seem to be in play in these situations. Wonder if this gives us a hall pass when it comes to Philly? Offer sheets this summer for Konecny and Provorov? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
