Could Filip Gustavsson be the answer in net for the New Jersey Devils?

With the New Jersey Devils shopping for a new goaltender a few names have popped up already including big names like Linus Ullmark, Juuse Saros and Jacob Markstrom.

Today on Daily Faceoff Live, Frank Seravalli explains why Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson could be that option.

Tyler Yaremchuk: We have a few goalies who could be available this summer, Linus Ullmark, Juuse Saros, and Jacob Markstrom, but the question is, which goalie do you think would be the best fit for the New Jersey Devils?

Frank Seravalli: I am going to go off the board, if I am the New Jersey Devils I am not going to go and trade my No. 10 overall pick for a goalie I am keeping that and finding a mid-tier option and saying Filip Gustavsson. I know that’s not the sexiest name but think between Gustavsson and next year Jake Allen, those two guys combing for $5 million provides you better roster flexibility and lower acquisition cost. Two years ago we were talking about Gustavsson as the “Hey this is the next guy on the rise for the Wild.” He had a .930 save percentage that season, he was lights out. But the Wild have Marc Andre Fleury and he will mentor Jesper Wallstedt which is why they have Gustavsson on the block. I know the Devils need to find a solution, I know fans want that security blanket, that big name, but I think they will have to settle for Gustavsson and resist the urge.
