Maguire seems ripe for a future in Wheeling, at least initially. DeSmith was a bandaid PTO from the Nailers when Murray got called up while Jarry was injured, and he stuck around to back up Jarry because Murray stayed in the NHL post-deadline.

At one point, DeSmith and Jarry got injured and Maguire became the de facto "starter" until they could pillage the Nailers again, but when they both got healthy DeSmith took the starter job away from Jarry during his cup of playoff coffee and didn't give it back. Jarry had a rough year in general but I don't think the organization views DeSmith as a prospect in the same way as they do Jarry or even Maguire.

The WBS goalie drama was a long and winding journey this year, man.
