Starting all 34 of Clarkson's games during the regular season, Kielly ranks among the NCAA's best in all the major goaltending categories. The junior from Eden Prairie, MN is also one of three finalists for ECAC Hockey's Ken Dryden Goaltender of the Year Award. Kielly leads Division I in wins with 22, is tied for fourth in shutouts with five, posts a .928 save percentage (8th in the nation) and a 1.92 goals against average (7th). He has allowed two-or-fewer goals in 24 of the 34 games. Kielly leads all active NCAA goaltenders in career shutouts with 16. He is fifth on the Green and Gold's all-time win list with a 60-36-13 career record. He was named MVP of the Desert Hockey Classic, gained ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Month honors for October and January and has earned ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week accolades three times this season (11/5, 11/19, 12/31). He is also a Clarkson Hobey Baker Award nominee. Edited April 2, 2019 by GoldenAlien 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks don't think Demko will be a #1 then maybe. But you'd want a very high return for such a highly rated prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the ED coming up, a lot of 'outside the box' thinking will be going on. I think that Markstrom can be pencilled in for the next +/- 7 years, so a Demko move might be discussed ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think Markstrom has truly turned the corner and can be their #1 for the next 4-6'ish years... along with DiPietro coming up and now signing Kielly, and Thiessen already in the pipeline plus we can always draft another goalie this/next year and sign a short term vet to expose in the ED and backup Markstrom the next couple years... It makes a LOT of sense IMO to translate that value to somewhere else in the lineup, where needed (1LW or right D).

But, if Marky looks like old Marky next year or gets injured. We have no one that has even the chance of stepping up and filling that crease.

We have no one that has even the chance of stepping up and filling that crease. It could very well be a move made a couple months in to the season (to see if Marky's play continues) but sometimes you have to make big moves/take some chances to push your team forward. This might be one of those instances...this summer. Edited April 2, 2019 by aGENT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Marky has one more year on his contract Id split games to start the season to see if Demko can be a number one right now. Then Id trade Marky at the deadline in the hopes of acquiring a young top LWorRD prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA - no 'losing culture'. And with DiPietro, Kielly, Thiessen in pipeline + Bachman still under contract next year...I'd not be particularly concerned about goalie depth...

I'd rather we lose a more easily replaced winger or the like and get value for one of our goalies, thanks. Next year we'll likely have DiPietro and one of Kielly/Bachman in Utica.

GoldenAlien Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 New profile: https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-kielly-rafferty/c-306419100 Quote The 6'2" and 200 lbs netminder was signed early on Monday morning and was already on the ice with the Canucks goaltending coach, Ian Clark, that afternoon. It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the prospect, as Clarkson won the ECAC championship by dispatching Cornell 3-2 in overtime in the finals. With the title win, they were selected to play in the NCAA regionals and had their eyes on securing the title. Unfortunately, they fell to Notre Dame in overtime by that familiar 3-2 score on Friday. With his season done, Kielly was free to leave collegiate hockey and sign with any NHL team and ultimately chose the Canucks. Kielly has a very impressive track record over the last few seasons which includes the aforementioned ECAC title, where he was named to the ECAC All-Tournament Team and the Second All-Star Team. Last season, he was named to the ECAC Third All-Star Team and the All-Rookie Team during his freshman season in 2016-17. This season, he is a finalist for the Mike Richter Award, which is awarded to the NCAA's best goaltender. Prior to his NCAA career, he backstopped the Tri-City Strom to a Clark Cup title in 2015-16. His run of awards and championships speaks to his calmness and consistency in the net. He doesn't have a particular style of play that you can point to, but consistently controls the puck to limit secondary chances. He is a mobile goaltender in the net when the need arises, but does rely more on his read of the play to ensure that he isn't caught in a situation where he is scrambling. Kielly will be 23 when next season begins and has shown over the last few years that he can be a difference maker in the net for every team he has played for. The Canucks are hoping that he will continue that winning pedigree as a member of the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year we'll likely have DiPietro and one of Kielly/Bachman in Utica. I’m not saying we should choose to lose a goalie, but we very likely could based on how well both Markstrom and Demko are playing. So, do we choose to risk losing one in the expansion draft, or trade one for an asset? Or do we make a deal exposing a winger and surrender a draft pick to ensure we keep them both? That is all I am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
