Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion: Upcoming NHL Draft can 'alter the direction of franchise' - TSN.ca
What is the best way to solve your goaltending issue long-term?
Dorion: Probably the best way to solve our goaltending issue is look at the four young players that we have at the goaltending position right now.
Joey Daccord only played half the year in the American Hockey League last year, his numbers were as good as any goalie’s that played there. We went from a fourth place team to a first place team when he took over.
Filip Gustavsson has great upside. He was the best goalie at the World Juniors two years ago.
Kevin Mandolese was probably the best goalie in Major Junior in the second half last year in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
And we took a gamble last year in the second round on a guy that is 6’7 who moves really well in Mads Sogaard. So I think internally is probably the best way to look at it for us to improve our goaltending.
