Is Lankinen ready for the NHL? I find Collin Delia more ready but I’m not deep into knowing Chicago

And Askarov is 1-2 years away from being NHL ready, Noway he's ready yet.

I really do appreciate the realistic acknowledgment that Crawford may retire And probably should. He’s got to think about his health now.

Lankinen has been good in the AHL and the Blackhawks have called up Lankinen last year instead of Delia, so I think the Hawks will call up him instead of Delia.

You’re right. Lankinen might have more upside but I think Delia is ready for full time backup duty. All depends on how training camps next season go imo

Sabres would rather have McCabe at the lower cap number. We would make the same trade including Pilut as we are short one left shot D. But we aren't trading for a similar player on a higher cap number at the same position.

1 to 2 years? He's 17, the kid is at least 3 years and as much as 5 years away. Goalies don't jump into the NHL younger then 21....ever

Value wise and cap wise that trade doesn't make sense for Rangers

You could take out Georgiev and it's still a no.

Probbaly not, but Delia is ready for full time backup duties. Lankinen was fantastic in the WC's for finland but delia was better in rockford last year

He's a Russian goaltender though. Whether he is ready or not, I think it is at least 6 years before we see him in the NHL. Look at guys like Shestyerkin and Nalimov and Sorokin
