While it’s always hard to tell whether American Hockey league performances are a true indicator of a goalie’s ability in the NHL, Dan Vladar is certainly staking his claim to a future role between the pipes with the Boston Bruins.
Leading the AHL with a 0.936 save percentage and an impressive 1.79 goals-against-average, the 22 year-old Dan Vladar is making an impression.
With the Boston Bruins not yet having renewed Jaroslav Halak, there is definitely an oppurtunity for Dan Vladar to stake a claim for next year’s back-up role behind Tuukka Rask.
However, conventional wisdom would suggest trying to renew Halak for a couple more seasons at a reasonable cost and allowing Dan Vladar another season or two dominating the AHL before pushing him to the main roster.
