nergish Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I honestly think this is the perfect time for Thatcher to come in. Markstrom is playing the best hockey of his career, and he is now unquestionably "the guy". Nilsson sucks. As long as Demko is better than that, he will endear himself to the fanbase the same way all other capable backup goalies have here. He's also one of the premier goaltending prospects outside the NHL. He's a good friggen goalie. He'll excel here with this exciting young crop... I truly believe our team is better with Thatcher as a backup than Nilsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why take on another NHL contract that you'll have to rid yourself of once the other goalies come back. They pick him up until the goalies are healthy and waive him again when not needed. Either we claim him back and send him straight to Utica, another team picks him up, or he clears and he gives them back some depth from when they lost two on waivers. I have no problem with it as we would just need to sign some ATO to fill in for Utica for a week or two until McKenna hits waivers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutral Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Even if a team claims Mckenna, Comets can go sign a goalie from the echl to play for them on a pto or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andersen was put on IR retroactive to 23 December - he can be activated at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this nothing more but a dong move by Philly? Elliott and Stolarz both hurt, running with Neuvirth and wunder-kind Hart right now. This probably lets them send Hart back down to the minors (more appropriate for his development) and go with Neuvirth/McKenna until Elliott is healthy (apparently a couple weeks out). We'll likely be able to re-claim McKenna when they put him back on waivers then if we haven't found a better/comparable solution elsewhere.

Bure_Pavel Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 .Does Philly need to waive a goalie now? maybe we can just swap. They might just send Hart to the AHL tho #79 Carter Hart (G) 20 1998 Sherwood Park, AB, CAN 6'2" 181 L 20/21 $925,000 #30 Michal Neuvirth (G) 30 1988 Usti nad Labem, CZE 6'1" 209 L 18/19 $2,500,000 #41 Anthony Stolarz (G) 24 1994 Edison, NJ, USA 6'6" 209 L 18/19 $761,250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
