Filip Gustavsson.... oh my.
So, Filip Gustavsson is a young GK I was very high on when he was drafted. He kind of fell off in his development for a bit, and a lot of owners have moved on from him.
I know it's only been 2 games, both against a good Calgary offense though. But he has looked outstanding in those 2 games. The way Murray has played this year, and as good as Doccord looked, I think Gustavsson is making a case to move ahead of Doccord as soon as, well, now.
The situation with Murray is tough. He'd be a hard player to trade atm, especially with 3.5 seasons remaining on a pretty fat contract. And I Don't believe Krakkans would even take him right now if the Sens left him unprotected in the expansion draft. But if Gustavsson keeps this up, I don't think Sens have much of a choice to at least go 1A, 1B with Murray and Gus once Murray returns. And next year, we could very well see Murray as the very expensive backup to Gustavsson if this 2 game showing is legit.
I am investing in Gus in Dynasty leagues where I can get him cheap. But I think he stands a damn good chance of being a significant fantasy GK down the line. And if he keeps playing like this, opportunity to get him cheap wont remain.
I know, it's just 2 games, but WOW. Heck of a 2 games.
Anyone think Doccord remains in the picture if Gus keeps this up?
