Despite just signing a shiny new contract extension, 2016 could see Saunders supplanted by young incumbent Eirik Johansen in goal this season.
We know his name well. We love him even. And you can't talk about anything that went right in 2015 without mentioning his name. Of course, I'm talking about Josh Saunders. In a season that was rife with defensive lapses and mind numbing turnovers in our own defensive third, Saunders stood as a beacon of light in those dark times. Often "standing on his head" as the saying goes, Saunders would make save after save effectively keeping the team in games that would've otherwise been runaway losses.
