Minnesota's goaltending logjam

Chuck Fletcher certainly made an interesting move today when he re- signed backup goalie Josh Harding to a one year deal, a day before his arbitration hearing was scheduled. I really wasn't expecting the move because we have a very solid starting goaltender in the AHL, Nolan Schafer, who has some NHL experience backing up Evgeni Nabokov in San Jose. Looking at the roster now, the Aeros have three goalies as well, so with the Wild having three as well creates a need for a trade or else a very solid goalie will be sent to the ECHL. A few weeks ago, the Wild signed career backup goalie Wade Dubielewicz who played most recently over in Russia. I don't expect Dubielewicz to make the roster out of camp, but if he does it creates a very interesting situation for Wild management. Obviously, with the Aeros having three solid goaltenders as well as the Wild having the same, the Wild have ether little room or lots of flexibility. My thought would be that Dubielewicz was signed to light a fire under Harding in camp and make him raise his game. I would be very surprised if Dubielewicz wasn't waived before the season started. As far as the trade market goes, I don't think there will be many takers for Dubielewicz, but the Wild could move either Schafer, Harding, or both, depending on how Dubielewicz plays.
