LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Quote DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings today signed goaltender Kaden Fulcher to a three-year entry-level contract. Fulcher attended both the Red Wings’ summer development camp and training camp as a free agent invitee prior to earning his first NHL contract. The 19-year-old netminder appeared in 43 games for the Ontario Hockey League’s Hamilton Bulldogs during the 2016-17 season and posted a 19-17-3 record, 3.21 goals-against average, 0.891 save percentage and two shutouts. Fulcher has played in four games for the Bulldogs during the 2017-18 season, posting a 2-1-1 record alongside a 1.92 goals-against average (ranking fourth in the OHL) and a 0.935 save percentage (sixth in the OHL). He is currently a teammate of Reilly Webb, who was a sixth-round draft choice (164th overall) of the Red Wings in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. A 6-foot-3, 182-pound goaltender from Brigden, Ontario, Fulcher has appeared in 64 OHL games with Hamilton and the Sarnia Sting since the 2015-16 campaign, owning a 27-28-8 record, 3.39 goals-against average, 0.890 save percentage and four shutouts. Prior to his major junior career, Fulcher spent two seasons at The Hill Academy (2014-16), a sports school in Vaughn, Ontario, and one season with the Lambton Junior Sting in Ontario’s midget minor ranks (2013-14).

The kid is young and developing, and goalies are voodoo incarnate so why not take a flyer on one that’s progressing well? Yes, this does bring into question the trade for Tom McCollum over the summer (a questionable move even at the time it happened), but nobody had any guarantee this kid would shine as a camp invite this offseason. The Wings have even done this type of thing before, with Joe Hicketts who earned a contract after impressing as a camp invite. Fulcher will head back to his juniors club where his contract will slide for this year and won’t count against the 50-contract limit. Hey look, I can be a successful Wings reporter like Malik! Cut.....Paste....Cut....Paste! But, ya, here is some info I found on the signing. Thanks to @mikeyisViral Edited October 3, 2017 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted October 3, 2017 What happened to Matej Machovsky? Didn't see him in the preseason. Howard Mrazek Coreu McCollum Machovsky Fulcher Perry Van Pottelberghe Larsson Petruzzelli Guess were casting a wide-net eh? I don't think management sees any type of future with Mrazek once Howard is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
