Khabibulin Insurance

Nikolai Khabibulin goes to trial July 7 on his Extreme DUI charges. This is only fitting as, for Oiler fans, last season's goaltending situation was a trial. I hope Steady Steve is thinking of ways to make next season a "net positive". As always, I'm trying to help and decided to take a quick look at AHL goaltenders. Twenty of them played 30 AHL games in each of the past two seasons.
Their Names, Shots Against, Goals Against, Save % over the two years:
| Jonathan Bernier | 3258 | 240 | 0.926 |
| Nathan Lawson | 2002 | 151 | 0.925 |
| Scott Munroe | 3024 | 231 | 0.924 |
| Cory Schneider | 2929 | 228 | 0.922 |
| Drew MacIntyre | 2686 | 217 | 0.919 |
| Cedrick Desjardins | 1964 | 159 | 0.919 |
| Mark Dekanich | 2019 | 167 | 0.917 |
| Jeff Frazee | 2795 | 232 | 0.917 |
| Jhonas Enroth | 3183 | 267 | 0.916 |
| Tyler Weiman | 2427 | 210 | 0.913 |
| Corey Crawford | 2630 | 228 | 0.913 |
| Justin Peters | 3063 | 270 | 0.912 |
| Mike Brodeur | 2049 | 183 | 0.911 |
| Peter Mannino | 1955 | 175 | 0.910 |
| Devan Dubnyk | 3087 | 280 | 0.909 |
| Leland Irving | 2010 | 184 | 0.908 |
| Josh Tordjman | 2675 | 252 | 0.906 |
| John Curry | 2585 | 246 | 0.905 |
| Daniel Larsson | 2458 | 234 | 0.905 |
| Ben Bishop | 2162 | 218 | 0.899 |
Munroe, Weiman & Tordjman are all unrestricted free agents.
Here's Hockey's Future on Scott Monroe: "Munroe is a strong positional goaltender who also possesses excellent puck handling skills, evidenced by his effectiveness in corralling dump-ins (particularly in shorthanded situations)."
Additionally, there were six more AHLers who had Save % of .915 or better this past season:
| Mike McKenna | 0.921 |
| Matt Climie | 0.919 |
| Braden Holtby | 0.917 |
| Curtis Sanford | 0.916 |
| Dany Sabourin | 0.915 |
| Dustin Tokarski | 0.915 |
None of the above are unrestricted.

Oil should go hard after Corey Schneider. Is he available?

The Canucks have already signed him to a two-year deal. He’ll be their NHL backup this year.

How about Wade Dubielewicz… him and Dubnyk could be the Doobie Brothers.
Still some FA goalies out there too… http://www.capgeek.com/free_agents.php?Year=2010&Team=All&Position=G&FAType=2
Yeah I like Dubie the First as insurance. Would be solid for OKC and decent short term insurance should there be goaltending problems on the big club (heaven forbid).

Will Turco take a one-year deal for $1,875,000?
Editor of The Copper & Blue, and leader of The Cult Of Hartikainen.
He might
There still a bit of a hopefuls list.
Though its not real inspiring:
Turco, Marty 0.913
Theodore, Jose 0.911
Nabokov, Evgeni 0.910
Lalime, Patrick 0.907
Emery, Ray 0.905
I don’t see any Craig Anderson’s there
That’s why i went to the AHL to see if one was lurking.
What are those save percentage numbers?
