Scott Clemmensen (and then there were three)

Chris Says:

So. We've signed Scott Clemmensen.

Which means we've got three goalies now.

If this keeps up pretty soon we'll be icing a squad of goaltenders for every game.

Clemmensen was the guy NJ put in net last year for the last game of the season, instead of Brodeur. He's the guy who cost the Leafers a playoff spot. Now he may cost Raycroft his job.

Granted Clemmensen is on a two way contract which means he could find himself backing up Pogge in the Mariles. But I think it's pretty obvious that the Leafs goaltending sitch is far from played out.

Because in my eye now we've got one starting goalie, one backup and and one third wheel.

One of these things is not like the other...

Steve says:

I'm pretty sure that Clemmensen is Marlies bound...putting Raycroft in the minors would not only kill his career, but also lose serious $ value for the guy.
No, ... if anything happens in our nets between now and Oct., it will be a Raycroft trade and maybe a Cujo signing.

Chris Says:

Woah. Where did I say we were going to stick Raycroft in the minors? Would his contract even allow it?

No, Raycroft is slowly being delievered the not-so-subtle message that his time with the organization is over.
