I dunno... David Rittich was plucked from obscurity to become a serviceable player (almost 200 NHL games).

If you spell his name backwards, it's just as fun to pronounce:

Wejtangi Irettlaw

I like it for additional depth and maybe some potential.

But Connor Murphy has seemingly been great for the Wranglers, so I wonder what they do with him.

Smart. We need another Wranglers goalie

We also need a few more goalie lottery tickets in case Wolf doesn't figure out the NHL as a regular.

Rittich is rocking at 2.15 GAA and a .921 SP with the Kings this year in 24 games.

One year contract. Maybe a Ignatjew/Murphy tandem in the AHL next season? Or does Dansk sign up again?

Ignatjew is a year younger than Murphy.

“He just stood out as a guy we thought we should take a chance on,” said Flames director of goaltending Jordan Sigalet. “He’s a big kid at 6-foot-3 and just has an aura to him when he plays. There’s this calm confidence to his game. And it’s just how consistent he was all year — he played 45 of their 52 games, so he was a workhorse for Mora, and he just put the same game on the table every single night. He went on a good run in the playoffs, too, and lost in Game 6 in double overtime, 1-0, in the conference final. So he was a couple wins away from going to the finals.

“He’s a big kid that can move. He’s calm. And he just has a confidence to him, a little bit of a swagger, but a real laid-back and humble guy.”
