Personally, I am not saying Irving is going to be a full time starter in the long run. It is possible of course. He is only 24. But to ride out this season he would be fine. Adding Ramo next season puts a major log jam in the crease though with Irving, MacDonald and Ramo. Again all signs to me and maybe me alone, point to a Kipper trade. Just makes zero sense to have 4 out of 49 contracts being eaten up by goaltenders with another on the way after this season. Add Ortio to the group that will be in the AHL next year as well. The Stable is LOADED. also, Broissoit should be turning pro next year too right?
Next year could look like a terrible log jam if Broissoit makes the jump:
AHL: Brust, Taylor, Ortio, Irving, Broissoit.
NHL: MacDonald, Ramo, Possibly Kipper, Irving.
