NJDfan1711 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, MadDog2020 said: I have news- one of Schmid or Daws will be in Utica; the other will be with another franchise, and VV will be pumping gas. We absolutely will be going after a goalie in the summer, and Allen is next year’s backup. VV is signed through next year. I guess we could let one or both of Daws and Schmid walk, but they're both much younger than Allen, so I'm not sure I see that happening.

nmigliore Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This is pretty much how I see it (or buyout VV if you can't trade him, but either way he can't come back). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of the other two will be the Utica starter, while whoever isn’t is starting for someone else’s AHL affiliate. 1 minute ago, MrBreeze said: Either that or we have a new nickname for him Banana Bread it is 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBreeze Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 If we didn't trade for Markstrom to try and make a run this year, why the heck would we try to get him in the off-season when he's a year older? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 okay this is much better. If he hits 40 games next year we’re fvcked. he might not make it this year with how slow the government is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) How close is Schmid to hitting the threshold for having to clear waivers? I know he was close. Maybe this was partly done to save him any more appearances in NJ this season if VV is also done? Edited March 8 by Lateralous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we could let one or both of Daws and Schmid walk, but they're both much younger than Allen, so I'm not sure I see that happening. He is absolutely gone. Said it already, but this is about Fitz wanting a whole new goalie tandem in 2024-25. VV will be dealt for pennies, just to move him...Fitz might have to retain some of his money for that to happen, but VV won't be back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 10 minutes ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: He's not going to make 40 games here. I don’t know you can be so certain. If we acquire a Markstrom with his age and injury history (and this club’s recent luck with injuries), I can totally see Allen playing a ton. And that would only be a mild upgrade from the sh!tshow in net this season, while costing us a hefty price in a second rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 One guy who was the talk of this board last year and hasn’t been mentioned at all is Spencer Knight. Would the Panthers be willing to entertain offers this offseason? Bob has been great and Knight has been in the AHL. Great pedigree as a prospect. Classic buy low example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
