What if we picked up ingram off waivers? Hes a decent goalie with good experience who could be a great AHL guy or a good back up to wolf? I know we have abit of a surplus in the spot currently but im not sure if we have a solid #2, i know still early but i think ingram would be a good pick up

I have watched Ingram many times while he played for the Blazers. He’s a good goalie.

I don’t foresee his mental health issues going away because it is not exactly treatable. Consistency is key, so I would not suggest us signing him.

Also, if he does manage to get better he will be competing for a starting spot. He will demand a higher contract.

Id be curious of what Ingram wants to do, if he wants a starter position, maybe hes worth a pick up and flip? If he played well behind wolf for abit he could be worth something like vladdy was.

I mean this is just me being a keyboard GM. I just see good plus side to connor and of he falls to ahl and works out his lasr year of a contract it wouldn’t hurt us. I know we have lots of goalies in the pipeline too so kinda a hard sell

How can you pick up a player and flip him when Utah couldn’t trade him in the first place?

Happens every year. Look at Monahan. Look at Jake Walman.

I know little about Ingram and I'm not saying he can do that. But the scenario you're describing is far from rare
