Jimmy Howard, Jonathan Bernier, Then Who?
from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
The Wings chose not to re-sign Jared Coreau and Tom McCollum, two veteran minor leaguers who didn’t progress toward the NHL. Coreau had brief opportunities at the NHL level the last two years, and failed to impress.
Replacing that tandem in Grand Rapids will be Harry Sateri (signed out of the Florida organization) and Patrik Rybar (European free agent).
Where there’s hope is in the past several drafts, and a group of goaltenders who could offer promise in the future.
Jesper Eliasson (2018 3rd round) and Victor Brattstrom (2018 6th round) were selections in June with plenty of upside.
