I've been curious about what happens if Karlsson goes back to Europe. IIRC when this discussion came up the rules don't specify the required 3rd goalie on contract has to be in North America, so maybe they'd only need to sign Taylor or Brust if/when the actual need arises. The only real concern is the contract limit this season so if we shed one or two somehow it would make it much less significant.

That kind of thing can be reigned in by a goalie coach and it often naturally gets toned down when a guy jumps up a level. In the AHL though his aggressiveness been his downfall on some goals, it's also been the reason for a bunch of good saves or broken up plays too. I'd still probably favor Taylor but it's close to a toss-up for me.
