Probably confirms that Silovs will be backup… Patera to be in Abby.

Nice 

[Don Brodka Jr]

Silovs #2 for sure then?

[Snoop Hogg]

I was hoping it was Ken Patera…

[Grandmaster]

Hopefully we won’t need that 3rd string goalie…

I'm good with this. Good to have some depth at goalie. Hopefully we won't need him up with the big club for more than spot duty.

[Phil_314]

If they like that Tolopilo kid, wonder if he's #4 (TD => AS => NT => him).
Always good to add depth from a winning system like Vegas.

Probably, but we'll see what happens in September. Unless Silovs signs for a lot, they may just have "goalie tryouts" and who ever plays better between Tolopilo, Silovs, and Patera gets the backup job. Not an ideal backup situation. Lol.

[Jess]

Either a backup to Tolopilo or maybe just a Sawchenko replacement.

Deserving, I would have liked DeSmith back too but we can’t do 3 years on him.

To be fair we really could have. At that price he would be a good vet in Abbotsford at any time without a cap hit.

[VegasCanuck]

This will be a Clark pick. Just be excited about it!

Nah he’s an NHL goalie that deserves an NHL job. Was more not a fit for him than us.

I think this could be amongst the most solid signing today, down the road. 
 

Under Clark, Patera could blossom into some thing at least decent if not more than.

I reckon so. But, maybe when Silovs gets to #1, hopefully, then Patera could be a possible backup.

25 years old.  Really Sawchenkos replacement.  But I he will add to the competition in camp.
