is a good gamble. It only costs money and doesn't tie up your cap. But signing a goalie also forces you to give him development time over those already in your system. Obviously, you can only put one goalie on the ice at a time and not playing any particular goalie would potentially thwart his development. Even given Cale's advanced age for his class year, I think another year as the unquestioned starter at Notre Dame can only be a good thing for his pro potential, but it's hard to turn down an offer if one arrives. I'm not sure is he is yet worth a shot for any NHL teams.
