AARON DELL - Goalie - 30 - $1.9MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
Aaron Dell as been inconsistent in his NHL career. One year, he'll be stealing games and looking like a potential starting goalie in the NHL. The next year, he'll struggle to find his footing and post a sub-.890 sv% and a -14.75 GSAA in only 20 starts. Goalies are remarkably volatile assets, so it's still anybody's guess which of the two goalie's Dell truly is. Dell lacks elite size, and as a result has to rely on his vision and athleticism to make saves. Thankfully, he has good command of the intricacies of goaltending technique, and moves very well in the crease. He makes the most out of his below-average size by squaring up to pucks well and making himself look big, and as a result his lack of size is less of a problem. Dell is a goalie who will, most nights, be a steady, dependable force in the back end, though he is sometimes prone to meltdowns. I think he'll put this past season behind him and prove to be a quality backup goalie, but at 30 years old I think the upside to be a #1 that some people thought he had a few years ago isn't quite there anymore.
