Sexsmith still sucks
who is our best goalie in the system that is not Niemi or Nittymaki?
^this!
get rid of Niemi, bring up one from AHL and give Griess the starter role, use Niemi for bait plus Nittymaki...have some faith in our homegrown goalies! at least expectations would be lower...
In related news, Nabokov has re-signed with the Islanders. 1 year @ $2.75m.
I donno why they dont have faith. Sharks have been shelling out good homegrown goalies for years. They shoulda stuck with the formula that worked. Kipper, Nabby, Hedberg, even Toskala (woulda been good is he didnt get stuck in toronto early in his career) are all home grown. the next gen is Greiss, Stalock, Satari, Suckssmith...
It might have to do with the death of Strelow. When it comes to identifying and developing talent I don't think Schwab or Thomas come anywhere close to Warren.
Well DUH, thats a given. But you never know if you dont play the guys.
Who would have thought that Nabby will sign an extension with NYI $2.75 for one year contract.
Greiss has played hardly any games. you dont improve or get into any rythem with no 1 game every 15. there is absolutely no reason why Nieme should be starting every game... They did the same thing with Nitty last season...
IMO it will be Stalock once he starts playing regularly again. According to the Worcester front office Doug and Co. consider the Sharks depth chart as: Sateri, Sexsmith, Stalock, Anderson, Heemskirk.
How is either Sateri or Sucksmith ahead of Stalock? Stalock is unquestionably the the future in net in san jose, he is just to damn good, shooters will never get a book on him because he's save selection is so varied.
Heemskirk is barely ECHL good what a waste of a draft pick he was. I think JP Anderson will eventually be a 1a 1b type starter but never a full season guy.
Sateri don't know yet, but sucksmith and heemskirk can go away
