Are Noronen or Hiller a solution to goaltending woes?
In the recent Rich Hammond interview, Dean Lombardi does say that he and coach Crawford might consider going into next season carrying three goalies.
Assuming that Garon walks (UFA) and Cloutier and LaBarbera are under contract, Mikka Noronen seems the only viable solution for the "third guy" on the NHL roster come fall 2007 from the list that has been circulating around lately. He does have quite a lot of NHL experience, which is way more than the large majority of the other Euros there.
Do you think he will/should beat out Barry Brust for the third goalie spot in LA? If not, and Lombardi signs someone else (like a Swiss goalie Jonas Hiller?), where does he end up? Manchester? Is he better than Fuji?
Lombardi has also had a positive spin on Jonathan Quick. Where does this situation leave him and Jeff Zatkoff? I know it seems like a good problem to have for a hockey club - curious about your: "where does the potential Euro goalie fit?" thoughts .

Noronen escaped to Russia since because he did not want sit on the bench of his last club too much (the reason was obvious and named Roberto). Knowing this, do you seriously believe he will come to play 3rd string in Los Angeles?
This guy doesn't fit, simply because he does not want to be in the position you would like him to be. Trade Cloutier or Jason, then you're talking (or not?) about the Finnish guy.
