How much is anyone banking on Cooley? 27 years old, middling AHL stats, and his stats compared to actual NHL goalies on the roster in San Jose last year were abysmal. Vladar's weren't great either, but at least he's done something at the AHL level and had flashes in the NHL.
Barring a miracle or an injury, I can't see Cooley making the team over Vladar, and he should pass through waivers pretty easily.
