Enroth > Thibault?
I was checking out Sabres Prospects to see what the Sabres’ farm system is up to, and I came across the following in their spring rankings:
With SSK failing to qualify for the playoffs, it is believed that the Sabres are talking contract with Enroth’s camp. Jocelyn Thibault has been a sub-par backup, and Adam Dennis isn’t quite ready for NHL pucks. It all adds up to Enroth offering a competitive nudge to Ryan Miller as the incumbent enters the final year of his deal.
I watched Enroth at the World Juniors, and he looked very good. I’d love to see him over here to give Miller some time off, even if it’s not until next year. It would require them to put some trust in him, though, and this group of management/coaches are not big on trusting the backup goalie. I find that odd, by the way, considering how much trust they put in these callups at times.
