i remember ryan nie from j-town last season. he's not a ceddy, dov, or max but i think he'll be a more than capable addition to the kyle and loic. he has a few years under his belt and last season he had a gaa under 3 while playing for a team that really wasn't very good.
it's really easy to look at this trade and think "down grade" but just like with the trade for cody last season, you have to give up something to get something. the addition of coghlan and o'hanely gave chuck some extra d-men to work with. i highly doubt bakersfield would have let nie go for a guy like lynch or sawatske.
time will tell but with the inconsistent goal tending we've had i think the upside of acquiring another goalie far outweighs what we gave up...
I'm excited to have a goaltender than can at least give Juice off nights since we couldn't play Lee except under an emergency case. I'm a Grover fan though and I'm just hoping we get our "money's worth" on this one. Time will tell!
And excuse me, but can you please capitalize "I?"
NOPE, SORRY, i'M NOT GOING TO DO IT....... |

LMAO You two kill me! 
And on the trade subject... While I don't like losing Grover, I feel we have enough D help coming in with the Cali guys. And it's not like we didn't need a goalie. Even with Juice coming around and being a bit more consistant, he needs nights off. I think he gets a bit mentally strained, knowing he's the only one there.
Here's hoping it all starts coming together! |
