This was Scott Wheeler's assessment from January while looking at Boston's prospect pool.

11. Dan Vladar, G, 23 (Providence Bruins/HC Dynamo Pardubice)

My evaluation of Vladar’s game has typically settled somewhere around “he’s huge and he’s not terrible.” I don’t think he moves particularly well in the net. He can stray off his angles and get beat. I’ve seen a lot of pucks squeak through his body. And when he does start to scramble, I don’t think he recovers particularly well. But when he condenses his movements and stays compact, he can really begin to fill the net, giving little to opposing shooters. And goalies his size (6-foot-5) don’t always have to be as polished as their peers. He was really good last year in the AHL. I’m not sure it’s the kind of game that will translate against NHL shooters, but he might become a fine backup.

Rittich reloaded? Seems like a weird one, perhaps we missed out on a different target earlier in the frenzy of the day.

I am quite pleased with this trade.

Much better than bringing in a Holtby type.

This is a Kipprusoffian move.

Sounds like he’ll need some mentoring by Markstrom

Kind of a question mark in net, which is a bit surprising and interesting. Saves a lot of cap space, and this kid definitely has potential. I thought for sure they would go for a more experienced backup.


I like the move. He has legit upside, and 2 years left on a cheap deal.

Nothing better for a young goalie's career than to play behind a stifling Darryl Sutter defense.

He could play 30 games over the next two years and record a GAA in the 2.00 and .915 save percentage and the Flames could probably flip him for a 1st round pick.

(darth has been already referenced of course...in a geeky admission, I've been calling him that ever since I drafted him into a fantasy sim league in his draft eligible yr)

750K if he is not ready for prime time you can always find a backup...I think with Sutter's style a giant goalie should do well.

AHL numbers are great and great numbers aren't always easy in the AHL where the D is somewhat lacking

Doubt Tre can sign any UFA goalie for this amount.

We need all the cap space for Jack Jack.

Obviously his number should be 66.

Okay, it sounds like a 3rd wasn't too high of a price tag -- he's proven himself at the AHL level. Seems like good potential and upside there.

He can watch Markstrom all year but I think its up to Jason LaBarbera to help this guy become a legit NHL backup. Hope he's up to the task.

Lots of pundits were saying that Seattle might take him in the draft because he's a young promising goalie, or that the Bruins may give him the backup job as early as this season.

I suspect he's a depth signing for the organization, but it's possible he could be the back up as well.
