    Default Jared Coreau

    What does everyone think of thus guy?

    Undrafted free agent, but he's played really well in the AHL the last two seasons. He has a 2.39 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 13 games so far this year on a pretty good Grand Rapids team.

    Dobber's prospect report has his fantasy outlook at a D+, but says he could be Detroit's next top goalie prospect.

    Howard is set to miss 2 weeks, so I'm assuming Coreau will get at least a start behind Mrazek in that time.

    This is obviously a wait and see type deal, but if Howard gets traded is there any chance Coreau carries any fantasy significance any time soon? He's only 25 so this is when he should be getting a real shot.

    Anybody have any info/thoughts on him?

    Goalies are so tough to predict, and he's not a blue chipper. Take a flier if you have the room on a farm team, otherwise wait it out like everyone else.

    with goalies, it's all about opportunity. he's definitely the top goalie prospect in the wings' system. eventually, howard will be gone, and he'll be mrazek's backup. and if mrazek keeps playing like he has been this season, coreau will get his chances.
    probably a career backup, but he's in a better position than many other goalie prospects that are in the same tier as him.
    i've also thought about picking him up, but at this point, i'm not sure he's worth the roster spot (but i have been watching his stats for over a year already and i'm liking what i'm seeing).

    Coreau is solid, but Detroit doesn't have a place for him.
    They've got 2 more years of Howard's salary - and, though they've tried to display him, I don't think many NHL teams want him at his salary.
    It's Mrazek/Howard for next 2 years in Detroit unless something happens.
    A tough spot for Coreau - who, I think, would be a decent NHL back-up with potential Talbot-like upside.
