Dustin Tokarski

[lfchockey]

Maybe an ignorant question but with the recent signing of Tokarski to the Tampa Bay Lightning, when will we see him in a Lightning uniform? Next year... two years?
Will this help him jump up in Dobber\'s rankings?

Thanks

This.
He\'s not better than Ramo or Helenius right now, and he\'s yet to show he can play at the same level on a team without excellent defense.
If only Augusta was going to still be around soon. I\'d say send Tokarski there for a few games to see how he holds up. If there\'s any minor league team that holds the title of \"hanging goalies out to dry the most\", it\'s probably the Augusta Lynx, unless you count leagues of lower tier than AHL and ECHL. :P

Honestly Tok looks like a solid goalie prospect, had a great head for the game. It\'s just in Spokane and on the world junior stage, he\'s surrounded with either a stifling defensive system or immense talent, so I\'m waiting for him to hit the AHL or ECHL to give a verdict on how good he really is.
