Dobbysta ja Starsin veskaritilanteesta kirjoitettua: "Picking the starting goalie in Dallas for this exercise is reflective of how weird the situation is in Dallas. Khudobin got the nod based purely on games played and the fact the other potential starter is slated for AHL duty.
Ben Bishop hasn’t played in more than a year, but was skating in training camp. Jake Oettinger was the Stars’ No. 1 goalie performance-wise last season, but is likely headed to the AHL. And Dallas signed Braden Holtby because of concerns over the combination of Bishop’s health, Oettinger’s youth and Khudobin’s track record.
If the Stars get the best version of any of their four goalies, there’s something there. But if Khudobin is asked to be a No. 1, there are concerns across the league.
“Listen, great story, works hard, does a lot of good things, but I think he’s still better suited as a backup where you can play him 35 games if you want as a starter. But is he a true No. 1? No, he’s not a regular starter in the NHL. He’s a step below that,” one source said.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the third guy this year,” said an NHL assistant coach."
