MANALAPAN, Fla. — NHL senior executive vice president Colin Campbell chuckled when the subject of emergency backup goaltenders, better known to hockey fans as EBUGs, came up on Day 2 of the General Managers meetings here. Campbell called it “groundhog day” for EBUG talk, because there is seemingly always question of change, but never really a big enough push to enact it.
There are numerous ways to attack the issue. One is to “professionalize” the position and allow teams to carry a permanent third goaltender, though there are salary cap considerations potentially involved. Another is to remove or reduce waiver requirements for third goaltenders, since so many are claimed on waivers year after year.
“I tend to insulate myself from what’s being said out there quite a bit,” Parros said. “It sounds like perhaps there’s anticipation on what I was presenting on, but I would characterize this GM meeting as not unlike any other I’ve had.”
