No AHL goalie has gone for a 1st, not without some track record at the nhl level. Why should that suddenly be the case?
Throw whatever sellable trade chips at the Pens for him. Any expiring vet should be on the table.
Bring him in and let him play out the year and get his feet wet now, while the games are basically meaningless. Perfect way to warm up a youngster. The rest of the season can basically be an extended training camp. We'll be all ready to go next year.
