It's been a rough week for goalies around the league with injuries.
Those with two goalies on their roster really should consider adding a third goalie because what I found out this week is that there are not any goaltenders available to sign in the free-agent pool.
As such, teams unable to field a valid two goalies must find a way to get a third in the lineup. If you don't have an M-designated goalie or a third in your system, we need to come up with a solution as the goalie is needed.
In order to combat that and keep that playing field fair, I have created three goalies that appear in the goalie free-agent pool with EBUG after their name. If you find yourself short, you must sign one of those goalies (no charge since they work for cheap in the NHL) for the duration of time you need a backup goalie. You must also still comply with the 30-man roster requirement, so it may mean waiving somebody to get the EBUG on your roster if even for just a few days.
If you are wondering who they are, the names are (all have made appearances in the NHL as Ebugs before):
David Ayres
Thomas Hodges
Matt Berlin
Their ratings are terrible as well but they provide immediate relief and allow teams to field a healthy 20 man roster in games.
I'd also recommend trying to acquire a third goalie who can play as you don't want to find yourself in an ebug or bad goalie situation come playoff time.
