Volpe Headed to Rangers

The Niagara IceDogs have traded goaltender Adrian Volpe to the Kitchener Rangers for a 15th round pick in 2010. The young net minder served as the backup to Andrew Loverock early in his first season but after Lucas Lobsinger returned from injury and the IceDogs acquired Sebastian Dahm he was sent to the Jr. B Falcons. Volpe was 4-1 in his rookie season with the Dogs.
The IceDogs goaltending situation is certainly up in the air this off season and with Volpe gone and the possibility that Lobsinger may decide to go to university and not return as an overage player, that would leave the IceDogs with a complete unknown between the pipes.
GM Dave Brown has indicated that he is looking to sign a free agent goalie and it may be fair to speculate that this free agent would be a goalie with significant experience.
