Wild carrying 3 goalies will be a fluid situation, but they’re ‘confident it’ll work’

    Good article from Russo on the goalie situation, especially with Gus and Wallly. Super interested to see how they walk this line (cap space is also a part of the equation, as the article mentions, with respect to carrying all 3 in St. Paul at one time).

    My thought – so much depends on which version of Gus we get (last year or the year prior). His trade value may change based on that, too. Have to believe they want Wally to be a big part of their future, and at some point he has to make the full time change to the NHL if they really believe in him.

    What else would GMBG say? Carrying 3 goalies with almost $15mil in dead cap space is NOT a good thing.

    I know this is not what they want and until Gus gets traded it is what it is.

    Does Vegas need a goalie? Lehner not reporting…..

  3. Imagine playing 2 goalies at the same time-both would be in the net on defense-and on offense 1 could skate up and be some form of D-man.

    If this is Fleury’s last year (big ‘if’) he’d be a great mentor for the two of them going forward. And it would be awesome for Wallstedt and Gus to be a 1A/1B pairing for the foreseeable future!
