I'm not sure which thread to answer (:
But I'm here now, so why not.
The futures of both these guys is up in the air big time IMO. I'm far from convinced either is a quality starting goalie but in today's NHL who the hell knows for sure.
LA - Down the stretch and into the playoffs I think this will be a you win, you play the next one, you lose, the other guys gets the next start. It will be a time share of sorts and whether one of Korpisalo or Copley steps up is a crap shoot, I'm sure the Kings are hoping one of them will up their game. Next year I am thinking there will be an interesting battle for the starting and back up rolls in LA. Calvin Petterssen and his big contract are not going to be put to waste in the minors and he will be looked upon to battle, and win, the starting gig from Korpisalo and Copley and I think there is an excellent chance that that happens. I like Korpisalo's chances of getting the back up roll more so than Copley. All conjecture, but there ya go.
Minnesota - Gus has had quite a run. However, MAF has played 167 NHL playoff games, Gus, 65 NHL games total. Who do you think the Wild turn to for the stretch run and into the playoffs? It's MAF's to lose. Next year MAF will return, Gus will need to be signed or he will be somewhere else. I'm thinking the Wild will sign him. If that is the case, it will be more of the same next year. Wallstedt is not ready, but once MAF's contract is done the net in Minny is likely Wallstedt's and Gus. Again, pure conjecture on my part.
OH....I just noticed there's a crack in my crystal ball (:
