Beside the fact he can play(every 3-4games) he's been the biggest mentor in that room not named Okposo. My guess would be the biggest mentor, guy has been round the block a few times.
- DirtyDan

I really wish he was 10 years younger, he would be a perfect guy to have take Levi under his wing.

You can tell he is enjoying playing with this group too.

I am not sold one way or the other on Comrie. He started off great and then his game fell apart when Samuelsson Joker and Boosh went out. I don't think there is a coincidence there.

He does need to come back and show he can be the guy though because UPL is not it. You can tell he doesn't track the puck well and relies on his big body to get hit with shots as opposed to stopping shots.

KA and company is really making it out to be...

Patience shouldn’t be confused with incompetence

Anderson minute to minute has been the best goalie this season. It's not even close.

"The best ability is availability"

Hurts a lot right now being forced to lean on someone they don't think is ready.

Absolutely agree.

Still can't block Levi's development.

Sign levi , then buy/add another respected vet for 25 games a year in the offseason.

Levi could come in and look promising, still need that nhl vet

I understand his process, and I understand why VO was re-signed and Casey was given another year of eval. But if these two continue on this path of uselessness, you can't consciously bring at least one of them back next season.
- TheSabresTaco

That’s where the narrative shifts from patience to incompetence for me

I'm pretty sure KA isnt looking at the playoffs or to make an upgrade at goalie mid season?

Win / win situation, good draft and all.....

Also , still just 8 games from losing 8 straight.

Chicken. And the egg,
Need guys to stop the puck and win, hoping to get the gm to make a playoff push.
If the guys make saves, do they need midseason upgrading.

I have my eggs in Levi's basket
- Boss34

What I want and what I think are different. I'd be shocked. SHOCKED! If Adams made an outside move on goalie this season. (frank)ing guy would rather get a free goalie via FC than attempt to improve mid season.

But he should. If they're banking on Levi then they won't spend the amount required to get a great goalie. The teams that suck have sucky goalies or promising goalies. So in both cases you're not taking one. The rest of the teams want to win.

The promising goalie in Edmonton is vastly outplaying the long term goalie.

So I don't know. Go for Stuart or Swayman. What's Chris Dreiger up to these days, I know he's on LTIR.

can you guys imagine if murray didnt veto and was putting up the same numbers

KA gets ottawa's first round pick to take on the goalie that has us firmly in a playoff race

the buzz would be sticky

Are you just gonna repost everything I’ve said on previous pages today ?

I joke, I joke.

He's good once a week. When your starter goes down and you need him, he's good once a week.

You can love him, and still see it's an issue.
- Lunaion

Good points, but I'm not pushing for anything but, 25/30 games for Anderson. Or another nhl vet.

Still need to solve G1

Vibes are off the chart
His work ethic is something guys can learn from....

All we have is unproven prospects.....

That save on the PK against.. I forget now... made me say the same thing... very underrated goalie over his career IMO

You got my point. Nothing against Anderson. You're just putting a lot of weight on your #3. It was a clumsy plan from the start.

I know you want Levi here to help immediately but he's always taken his time from one level to the next(why he was drafted so low) wouldn't surprise me if he wanted a season in the minors.

Ohhh yaaa.. gives me goosebumps just thinking about it

Can't talk now, need another 14 points out of girgs.

Sorry.
- Boss34

You keep rubbing, funny how the guy I said would match Girgensons, did it and in less games

Really good post

Basically not happening , acquiring a good goalie now.

One of the playoff teams would want a difference maker for their back up (skinner or swayman)

Olo , mitts, joker, Bryson, fitz probably not going to bring enough juice to trade your back up.
Especially if the cup and not just making the playoffs is your mind set.
Bruins especially, with limus's injury history.
More likely we trade them a goalie 🤔

> hire arturs irbensons as goalie coach
> re-sign Girgensons

Profit

It was against Detroit I believe

You got my point. Nothing against Anderson. You're just putting a lot of weight on your #3. It was a clumsy plan from the start.
- Lunaion

You've been very critical, maybe time to step back a bit?

KA signed tage to the best contract ever
Samuelsson's contract looks great
The kid line that everyone was worried about is awesome
Teams 2nd in the nhl in scoring

You wanted KA to tim Murray this team.
1 season after finishing dead last?

High standards, unrealistic standards

I mean I don’t think they planned for Comrie to get hurt.

This was a year to give him a full slate of games to see if what he could do after a good sample size in Winnipeg.

So far, not good.

Still time though

Very cordial post, not sure if a young guy would choose the ahl over his dream of being a nhl goalie.

Agreed though, levi will most likely need time to develop.

I'm looking at the "how much worse can it be" in goal.

It's a year for playing prospects, Levi's probably a better prospect than upl already?

Save this thought, girgs needs 14 more points...

Then your self imposed silence can move forward.

You have to plan for injuries.
