Since his glove is on his right hand, is it Deslauriers??

Pascal Leclaire?

Jose Theodore

Marty Brochu, yes? Also a brief canuck?

I think Miller will have a solid year next season, and I'm fine with taking the option of keeping the 1 goalie we know for a fact is a starter rather than 2 questionable ones. As for Markstrom, heading into the season I'd expect him to probably get his first start in the 3rd or 4th game of the season just to get him some action early on. I would also expect that he would lose his first couple starts and CDC would be like "why the hell did we keep this guy!? Trade him!!" but as the season moves forward Markstrom will quickly adjust into the NHL atmosphere, will work with Rollie, and will get more starts giving Miller extra rest days which would be great in case Vancouver does get into a playoff spot.

The biggest question I feel that is relating to the draft is if Arizona will trade the 3rd pick. Which obviously no one can predict if it will happen or not, but it could also change the draft order quite a bit. Plus I have Buffalo grabbing Ilya Samsonov at 21 if Edmonton doesn't snag him at 16, because it sounds like Buffalo and Edmonton both have their eyes on him. But I guess where goalies in the NHL get traded to will play into that too.

I've been hearing that Edmonton is considering to use their 16th pick to grab Ilya Samsonov, they need a goalie of the future more than anything and there is a lot of upside from what I have read about him, plus Edmonton has Nurse to look forward to on defence (and possibly Dougie Hamilton?). By the way, if Florida's top 2 dmen down the road will be Ekblad and Provorov..dammnn.
