Drive to the Net: Penguins' goaltending depth markedly improved

Kyle Dubas has added some serious depth to the Penguins' entire organization through the moves he's made since taking over as president of hockey operations this offseason.

It should lead to some interesting competition at the NHL level, and the trickle-down effect should make for deep, strong groups in both Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Wheeling in the minors.

That's perhaps best true in goal, where the Penguins now have six netminders under NHL contracts, in addition to a seventh goaltender on an AHL contract to round out the group.

Dubas was clear on the opening day of free agency last month that stocking up on goaltending depth was a priority of his, and something he sees as essential to do in today's game.
