Value of: Backup Goalie to PIT

[CheckingLineCenter]

Only glaring need on the roster (so far). DeSmith had been reliable until this year.

Trying to get an idea of who might be out there and what it might cost.

[Vitto79]

Look at the ufa list it Khudobin at 50 off

slim pickings

 

[Peter Griffin]

Halak for DeSmith and a pick/prospect.

 

[DarthProbert]

Fleury at 50% for a contract dump and (insert QUALITY futures).

 

[Habsrule]

Jake Allen? He is a 1B type of goalie. If you don’t consider him a 1B type of goalie then consider him a great backup. His stats aren’t very good this year but if you have watched him play you would see that he has played great.

UFA list for this summer?

If so: Fleury, Kuemper, Koskinen, Greiss, Korpisalo, Jones, Holby, Elliott, Campbell, Halak, DeSmith, Subban.

 

[Extra Texture]

What is the ask for Holtby from Dallas?

I’m guessing a lot more than Khudobon or Halak.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I could maybe see Vladar being moved to make room for Wolf. We payed a 3rd and he has been really good for us.

Personally, I would move Markstrom to a team that needs a starter and run with the young guys because that would give us the cap space to re-sign Gaudreau, Mang, Tkachuk and Kylington. But that would be too wise/risky for a lover of crusty old vets, like our management.

Would probably be a solid fit for them.

Desmith and a 3rd?

 

[Eggtimer]

Stand in line .
Oilers and Devils have a need for a backup. Oilers more so as the Devils are finished for the year anyways.
Price for a goalie will be inflated and probably not worth giving up the assets it would take to upgrade the position.

Vladar would be a very good pickup. I’ve been I,pressed by his play and assumed there would be no way they move him but… Wolf has been amazing but still too early for him to be called up?

I'm thinking off-season. Pretty sure the Heat will try to win the Calder Cup on the back of Wolf this year.

 

[Vitto79]

Korpisalo will be a main ufa target

Desmith and a 3rd?

not enough,


They'd probably want Poulin/Légaré in the deal

 

[Habs Halifax]

Korpisalo will be a main ufa target

Based on his age and the available options, I agree. Blue Jackets don't try to sign him and ride with Elvis?

Also wondering how the hell the Leafs are going to be able to unload Mrazek and find room to extend Campbell. Lets say they unload Mrazek and don't take a contract back. They would have 14 players signed with $10M in cap space. 9 players to sign including Campbell. Ouch!

 

[Gurglesons]

Seems like a lot. He got a third coming off a .927. Why would he get a top prospect now?

Top prospect as in Penguins not league.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Ullmark for a bag of used pucks?

 

[Empoleon8771]

not enough,

Lmao there's not a single team that would give up that caliber of asset for a backup goalie.

 

[Peat]

Ullmark for a bag of used pucks?

That contract would be an absolute nightmare for us so no thanks.

 

[Habsrule]

Would probably be a solid fit for them.

Desmith and a 3rd?

Counter of DeSmith and a 2nd? That 2nd can be 2022, 2023 or 2024. Your choice.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Halak for DeSmith and a pick/prospect.

For all the other teams interested in Halak, I think Vancouver asks for the equivalent in any return.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Halak for DeSmith and a pick/prospect.

Pens arent trading for Halak when they would be on the hook for his games played bonus.

 

[dustybreaks]

Habs sending their first with Allen?

 

[Peter Griffin]

Pens arent trading for Halak when they would be on the hook for his games played bonus.

What would they offer after the bonus has been triggered?

Oilers don't need a backup. Oilers need a starter.
