Really hoping he comes as advertised. Don’t see anyone in our current goalie group coming through next year and wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Gavin left (again) , Duffy and Katch hit the portal. I personally don’t see a role for any of them next year.
I haven’t compared the numbers but on eye test I would take Thompson over Gavin as a back up. I thought Gavin was truly not up for the task . Didn’t save many shots he should have and didn’t come up with any he shouldn’t have. No exposition to the ball. No clear athleticism.
Hoping McCool is the answer is a bit of wishful thinking . Ideally we would get a proven guy in the portal and let him and McCool , Rolley and Thompson battle it out for the 1,2 job.
