PromoTheRobot Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Isn't the idea to get a lot of goalies so that one emerges as the best because, you know, scouting and drafting are not an exact science? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Isn't the idea to get a lot of goalies so that one emerges as the best because, you know, scouting and drafting are not an exact science? Yup. And because goalie career trajectory is the hardest to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBorn Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think Hackett perhaps has the potential to be a reliable back up NHL goalie, that was my mind-set at the time. Now he's seeming like a backup AHL goalie strictly based on his numbers, but think he'll be fine. If he blows his starting bid at AHL starter next season, then I do believe we move on.

Huckleberry Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Well i seen him play in the spengler cup, well watched alot of the games on tv i mean. He let some easy ones go in, goals no NHL goalie would let fly by. But Young kid, maybe having an off year, we'll see how it goes. But i'd trade him at this point.

Andrew Amerk Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Too early. Some goalies don't become a full time NHL starter until age 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotentPowerPlay22 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Lol at a bunch of forum posters assessing NHL talent. Just wait and watch and we'll see. LOL when the same posters haven't seen him play either. What a ridiculous comment to potentially label someone a "bust" after a couple months of play. Jeez!

beerme1 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I am not concerned at all. From what I read and heard, it sounds like winning is everything for him. He get's supermad if he doesn't win. That's actually something I like. He does go over the top at times but I am ok with that. I heard yesterday that his inability to control himself resulted in some kind of meltdown that cost him some games and a visit to as Dr. That is not the mad that is good.

It was a counsel on anger management. Not sure if it was team ordered or not. (And we are taking Pham's word on this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppy22 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 BTW Spengler Cup doesn't count. bigger ice... you see elite goalies have the same issues when the world cup starts on the IIHF ice. Enroth talked about it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
