Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

[Richard88]

UFA options for goalies look horrible for next season.

CMac/Sakic's MO with goalies has been to target RFA's with starter potential looking for an opportunity. Like trading a 2nd for Grubauer+ Orpiks buyout, or some picks for Georgiev. They've also shied away from UFA goalies, including their own (i.e. Varlamov, Grubauer, Kuemper). So you'd probably have better luck figuring out the Avs next goalie by looking at goalies who are RFA's in 2025.

So our next starter will be Devon Levi or Lukas Dostal if Gibson finds his groove and motivation again. Gotcha!

Or who will be RFAs at the current contract conclusion

After the opener against the LV GKs, I thought it was 5giev now???

It is, but 4Giev qualifies as optimism at this point.

At what point in a season does a GM consider asking a player's agent about the potential of a sign and deal. Does that not even come up until after the season? Does it come up at the new calendar year? I'm curious about this, especially in Mikko's case but in general really. I know nothing about how the business side of hockey ops actually works day to day.

If we end up with Binnington I will start rooting for the Wild.

Hey you don’t mean that!

So what goalies are available?

So what goalies are available?

Detroit has 3 goalies Husso (UFA), Lyon (UFA), and Talbot (2 years)

 

[BobRossColton]

Would retaining on Georgie help out the situation at all?

Blackwood
Dellandrea

Wood
Fourgiev @50%

Georgiev ($3.4m) for Husso @1.35m retained ($3.4m). Who says no?

Detroit does. Zero incentive for them.

Detroit does. Zero incentive for them.

Especially since Georgiev has a reputation to be bad in the room. I don't think any team wants him unless we make an offer that they can't refuse.

We need to find a team that will waive him and send him to the AHL...or simply let him go on the player assistance program.

Georgiev ($3.4m) for Husso @1.35m retained ($3.4m). Who says no?

Then Detroit is paying $4.7 mil to Georgiev. Easy no for them.

They may do George for Husso straight up if Talbot and Lyon establish themselves, but I expect Husso to be at least the backup.
