Tyler Moss

Drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2nd round of the 1993 entry draft, Tyler Moss broke into the NHL after being traded to the Calgary Flames.  In Calgary, Moss saw action in 17 games over two years before signing with the Carolina Hurricanes in the summer of 2000.

With Arturs Irbe firmly entrenched as the starter, Moss saw action in only 12 games that season.  Any guesses as to how he fared?

If you guessed “not good”, you’re right:

Oof.

Moss spent the following season relegated to the AHL before signing with the Vancouver Canucks in 2002.  He would only see action in one game with the Canucks, spending the rest of his career in the AHL before heading to Russia for two seasons.

Reflections: Eh, not a lot to say.  Irbe was a workhorse and Moss’ body of work when he saw action didn’t warrant anything more than (reluctant) spot duty.  I did, however, like his mask, so there’s that.
