Title: Canucks pick up a new goalie!!
Post by: Big Steel on December 02, 2005, 06:07:58 PM

The Canucks just picked up a new goalie.  Maxime Quellet from Washington for a 5th round draft pick.  I don't know much about him, yet!!!

Not a lot of NHL experience, better AHL stats than Auld. Not a bad depth player to pick up while Cloutier is out, plus we can send him back down and avoid waiver issues.

Yeah that is what I was thinking Biff.  I just looked up his Bio.  He was selected 22nd overall in the 1999 entry draft by Philly.  He set an AHL record for most Shutouts in a year with 10.  He also lead the AHL in save percentage with I believe .929.  Not a bad pick up, I wonder how he will do once he gets his chance to play!!

Hes a guy that has more experience than McVicar. Thats it. Once Clouts is back hes on the farm. Nothing more than a stop gap.
