-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 UFA ‘tender heads to CSKA: Former Ducks and Oilers goalie Viktor Fasth is on his way to Russia. On Thursday, Fasth reportedly agreed to join KHL powerhouse CSKA Moscow, the club announced. The deal comes after the 32-year-old failed to latch on with a new NHL club in free agency. Fasth had a rough year in Edmonton last season, going 6-15-3 with a 3.41 GAA and .888 save percentage. The Swedish ‘tender, acquired from the Ducks for a pair of picks at the 2014 trade deadline, was really never able to replicate the success he had during his first season (’13) in Anaheim, when he burst onto the scene by going 15-6-2 with a .921 save percentage and 2.18 GAA, recording four shutouts. Fasth’s first year in the NHL also began with eight straight victories, which netted him a two-year, $5.8 million extension from the Ducks. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/07/09/report-oilers-goalie-fasth-signs-in-khl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaSwede Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Happy for him! Was a real late bloomer and ended up in the NHL and Tre Kronor. KHL is the next step, probably a return to Sweden before he retires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing With Pride Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Was he that bad of a goaltender or was Edmonton just that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Was he that bad of a goaltender or was Edmonton just that bad? He was okay in Anaheim. Edmonton just killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Those stats seem similar to what a Vezina runner-up was able to do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 When the Oil signed him I remember checking out their boards and bunch of their posters were thinking he was going to be some sort of savior. Same thing with Scribs. Eventually you would think they'd stop signing other teams back ups or 1b type goalies and go for a true #1 I know that not a lot of them want to sign in Edmonton but you'd figure a GM would overpay or something for such an important position.
