Jess Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 A bit surprised, but honeslty, he has good AHL numbers. Probably an AHL-for-life type, but with strong AHL numbers, he'll probably be a 3rd string who'll get some NHL games from time to time. Not a bad gig at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His NHL salary stays the same but he got a significant raise to play in the AHL. From $80,000 to $200,000. So at least he can live a decent life with that... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua.Guy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Are there any 6'0" goalies in the NHL? Any starters? Edited March 21 by Joshua.Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think Quick used to be listed at 6'0" (but is listed at 6'1" now). Carter Hutton was also 6'0" and was a starter and Henrik Lundqvist was 6'1". Edit: Also Juuse Saros is 5'11" and Devon Levi is 6'0". Edited March 21 by Diamonds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, with the big numbers we're used to I think we forget that 775 k a year is still alot of money. The kid is highly successful. Oops. Just realized he only gets the 775k if he plays in the NHL. Oh well. He still done well for himself .

Phil_314 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Good for him, also glad we have Silovs to potentially take the backup spot in a season or two. Arturs has better stats than Mikey two years ago when they were the same age, so hopefully he keeps trending positively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The Boston Bruins have signed former Vancouver Canucks prospect goaltender Michael DiPietro to a contract extension. Originally drafted by the Canucks in the third round at 64th overall, DiPietro has signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with Boston. The Bruins announced the contract on Wednesday afternoon. The Bruins originally acquired DiPietro from the Canucks alongside the rights to prospect defenceman Jonathan Myrenberg in October 2022 in exchange for forward Jack Studnicka. DiPietro was set to become a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer upon the conclusion of his current one-year deal with the Bruins. His new deal carries a $775,000 NHL cap hit. DiPietro and Linus Ullmark are the only two goaltenders under contract with the Bruins for next season. The team also has Jeremy Swayman and Brandon Bussi set to become restricted free agents this summer, plus pending Group 6 UFA Kyle Keyser. At one point, DiPietro was dubbed as the Canucks’ goalie of the future, and management was open with the fact they expected him to start 50-60 games in the Abbotsford Canucks’ inaugural AHL season. Instead, DiPietro lost the starting job to Arturs Silovs, and after that and the emergence of Spencer Martin, DiPietro struggled to find ice time as a member of the Canucks organization late in the 2021-22 season. He still started 34 games that season — the most of any goalie in Abbotsford — but it was clear heading into the 2022-23 season that Arturs Silovs was the Canucks’ new “goalie of the future” and that they’d be prioritizing his development. As a result, the Canucks pulled the trigger on the trade that sent DiPietro to Boston. The Canucks traded their return of the trade, Jack Studnicka, to the San Jose Sharks earlier this season in exchange for AHL defenceman Nick Cicek and a 6th round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

MeanSeanBean Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Good for him. I was at that faithful San Jose game all those years back when he got pumped for 7 goals. Was sad to see. Always hoped the best for the kid since then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is nearly 25 and has 2 NHL games under his belt. What did the change in scenery give him? I wish him well, but we certainly didn't give up on much.
