Big save dave here to fk sh*t up!

Sorry... family site

Good choice imho. He was the more stable of the 3 dumpster dives.

 

[Telos]

Definitely the best of the three. Easily good enough to be a backup in the NHL, but obviously, not a primary solution to any team's needs in goal.

 

[La Bamba]

Good value for a good backup

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Signed as a backup, probably ends up as the starter.

Lmfao oh great LA is going for shitty bargain bin goalies again

I suspect that this means that they're parting ways with Copley. He can't be an option for the starter position because that'd be a worse tandem than last year and he's coming off missing most of the season, and he can't be an option to be the AHL starter because that would displace Portillo. He could maybe back up Portillo, but I don't imagine that he'd sign to be a 4th stringer when he could probably do better elsewhere, like in Utah, where his first name will remind everyone where the team came from.

With the weak ufa goalie market, this is a smart signing. His contract is buryable if a better option comes available, and if not you have an OK backup you didn't overpay

I don't see utah signing him just because his first name is Phoenix.

If thay were a thing, the Oilers would be convincing Jack Campbell to legally change his name to 'Atlanta Campbell' and calling the Jets to make a trade

For the life of me I can’t understand why Ingham is not the backup in Ontario. He is the clubs 2nd best goalie prospect and they have him buried in the ECHL to play some vet with no future as the backup for the Reign. Would be better for his development even if he gets less games then he does now.

It was a joke.

For that price, he would be worth it if he was average save Dave.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Happy for him, such a good guy.

 

[YP44]

prediction: at some point he will be on waivers

Even worse, his parents spelled his name "Pheonix".
