raithis Verified Member Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 I would not want to commit that much to Wallstedt after only one full season. I think we re-sign Gus sometime next year unless Wallstedt is just completely outplaying him. I also think that the contract gives us enough wiggle room to trade Gus a couple years down the road if Wallstedt does end up being extremely good and we end up having to choose. As long as we don't overpay or overcommit, it's a good problem to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatoneguy Verified Member Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 He barely looks like an AHL caliber goal tender this season let alone NHL ready. Keep Goose because the wall is looking more like a screen door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still needs to develop his confidence and laying this egg won’t help. Re-sign GUS on another bridge (3yr) and hope Wall figures it out over next years (see Rossi). also hope Wall’s agent doesn’t convince Guerin to overpay and over term Gus with NMC #don't be dumb bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyver Verified Member Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 This is the part where we say ya but goalies are different they take longer to develop. And maybe so. But this illustrates exactly why you don't pencil in prospects on your roster before they ever put a skate on NHL ice. The "Wall" was supposed to be competing for the Vezina this year according to many. I don't know how many posts I've seen with Yurov on this or that line with so and so and Jircek and so and so as a second D pair and on and on. It's as silly as all these trade packages that are put together for other players that are not even available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we throw in a 2029 3rd round pick? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
