What do fans have to be happy, hopeful and nervous about for each tandem in 2023-24?
With more than two weeks of free agency in the books, the NHL’s goaltending landscape is beginning to come into focus for the 2023-24 season. After all the turnover we’ve seen in net, let’s break down every team’s goaltending situation. In Part 3 of this series: the Metro Division.Reason to be happy:
Carolina has three solid options in goal. And the Hurricanes are built for the future with 24-year old Kochetkov. He’s locked into a four-year contract and ready to take on an expanded role at the NHL level.Even though Andersen and Raanta once again missed significant chunks of the 2022-23 season due to injury, the Hurricanes were still able to win the Metro Division. Carolina plays such a strong defensive system under head coach Rod Brind’Amour that the team only needs adequate goaltending.
Philadelphia might not trade Hart. And prospect Samuel Ersson posted a 6-3-0 record in his first taste of NHL action.Philadelphia could still trade Hart. And Petersen is a $5 million a year reclamation project who spent the majority of the 2022-23 season in the AHL. On top of that, head coach John Tortorella rarely played Flyers’ backup goaltender Felix Sandstrom in anything other than the second game of a back-to-back set last season.
Jarry was the best UFA on the market this summer. Pittsburgh now has the homegrown talent locked up for five more years. Injuries have been a real concern, but that was also true for every goalie available this offseason.When Jarry is at his best, I think he’s easily a top-10 NHL netminder. And I do believe Nedeljkovic can rebound after a trying stint with the Red Wings. He and Jarry are very similar in how they play and handle the puck outside the crease.
