Word is he is going to an Eastern Conference team. Any teams out there need a 19 year old experienced back-up?

from what I've been told, Josh has already left Seattle

I'm not sure where he went to though...I guess they aren't quite ready to make the announcement....wherever he turns up, I wish him the best of luck...sucks that he got injured and never really had a chance this year

he's a good goalie and quite consistant, any team would be lucky to have him I think

Well he's never really had a chance anywhere. Even on the Memorial Cup Kelowna team he was the backup. But when he is on his game, he can post some decent stats. Last year he kind of suffered through a bad system in front of him. Everyone did.

I know for a fact, talking with those around the Medicine Hat Tigers, that they are very interested in picking up Josh.

Nastiuk will be gone for a number of games in the next while, due to the travelling Russion skating circus competition he will be playing against as a member of Team WHL PLUS he will miss considerable time due to the World Jr.'s (possibly but GM Moore thinks he is a lock to make the team).

Keetley, their back-up, has only played two games I believe and does not have the coach's confidence. They are looking for an experienced guy to fill in and to eventually help Nastiuk as they push for a Memorial Cup.

Keetley, obviously, would be moved in the New Year then.

A couple of guys that could be moved: Exner, Glass or Daly.

Moose Jaw should be dumping a goalie sometime soon. They have quite a few.

He had chances. He was Kelowna's #1 going into camp in 2002-03, and eventually played his way out of the starter's job as Kelly Guard took over. Guard didn't win the job so much as Lepp lost it.
