Stecher vs Pionk vs Nutivaara vs Ghule - Points Only Keeper
Hoping 2 of them emerge this year and think they all have potential, though none are needle movers. Dog days of summer
Ghule has cemented a spot imo and has been rooming with Dahlin so there is a chance for lightning in a bottle if paired together. Their speed may compliment each other. If not, hopefully he will see time on the 2nd PP and seems to be part of the plan in Buffalo. Prior to Dahlin, he was their top D prospect.
Pionk likely takes a step back with Shattenkirk on the scene, but he more than passed the eye test in his audition last year. Was running the PP and could figure nicely with the new coaching system
Stecher finished the year strong, playing with Edler on the top pair, but zero PP. If he can reclaim some time on the PP like in his rookie year, he is suddenly a top pair, top PP option. Can't believe the keep running Edler out there.
Nutivaara is clearly the top D behind the dynamic duo and gets his fair share of chances. Earned Tort's trust and is getting more and more comfortable. I could see a big year for him if opportunity strikes
If you had to own 2 in a points only keeper, who has the most short term upside?
Thanks
