Thread: Minor Trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wilbur</b></div><div>So what you're saying is there's either going to be a trade or two, or Ottawa is going to have 2 AHL teams in the AHL, instead of 1 in the AHL and the other in the NHL, like they've had for the past few seasons 😊.

Seriously though, that is far too many minor league goalies. Good thing Hoglander was dropped. But for the quantity, there isn't a lot of NHL-quality tenders in the org today.

It is mind boggling how many good goalies have been there. Ottawa has been the envy of the NHL when it comes to young guardien de but, off the top of my head, flash in the pan Hammond, Elliott, Lehner, Bishop and the latest in Driedger (I've probably missed a few names) , so it is possible 3 of these and even Hoglander are NHL stars 3 or 4 years down the road.

I am honestly curious if you are happy with the goaltending going into next season?</div></div>

Yes, and there’s an issue with too many goalies in Ottawa. I’m expecting Seattle to claim one, two in the NHL, two in the AHL, one in the ECHL, and one in junior (Kingston).

Murray is a solid starter, not top10, but capable, Forsberg is okay, but he’s under contract so he’s the backup.

One of Gustavsson or Daccord will probably be selected by Seattle, but if Seattle takes a forward, then one of these two goalies will be traded. Sogaard is playing in Belleville (AHL), and Mandolese should head to the ECHL.

Ottawa is just being cautious about losing a goalie, so they have an extra, and they have enough promise to get some AHL piece in a return if/when traded.

Stalock would be better than Forsberg, but any trade for Stalock would need to send Forsberg the other way, and then Ottawa still has to lose one either to expansion or trade, after the expansion draft.

Gustavsson was pretty decent last season, but I’m really excited about Sogaard.
