How many Goalies get moved? It seems like there are a lot of good teams with issues at this position.


On a side note... are the analytic guys being proven wrong about goalies?

After Deboer publically shamed Brossoit for his performance & went with Thompson for the last 2 starts (insert sword tweet here), they're probably looking to move him to save cap next season. Lehner is expected back during the regular season...until he slips on a banana peel.

Vegas will probably be looking for a pending UFA goalie.

edit: he shit on Brossoit again after yesterday's game lol

I think oilers, wild, leafs, knights are in the market. Not many guys out there realistically available. Fleury is the big one.

Who knows if Gibson is available as well, Verbeek seems to be cleaning the house.

That seems like an offseason thing but yeah he could be out there. A couple guys could become available like Blackwood and Samsonov. Those are a couple of guys that might need a change of scenery. Georgiev will move at some point.

A few of these guys are “likely” with some for sure getting shopped:

MAF
Anderson
Halak
Blackwood
Korpisalo
Georgiev

Slight chance :
Jones
Remier
Gibson
Samsonov ( if MAF comes )
Whoever is the odd man out if MAF comes to their team ?

Pretty sure Dorion said something along the lines of how Forsberg would be their starter for the rest of the season. I think they're going to attempt to sign him and bury or LTIR Murray.

FOrsberg has been money for the Sens this season and its not looking like he'll be available.

Greiss for a 14th round draft pick and a coupon for small fries at select McDonalds.
I assumed they have to be actuall NHL level goalies. Gilles is not lol. Yes he is somehow / for whatever reason is playing but he is not a NHL goalie at all . Think along the lines of way worse than Dell . If you want to tank though , he is your man . Gives up at least 3-4 expected save goals per game.

I could see Gibson, after losing Lindholm, Manson, Deslauriers, probably Rakell, & who knows who else, quoting Denis Lemieux (Slapshot) & telling Verbeek "Trade me right farking now..."

The Ducks could/should be a powerhouse in a few years ... but ... he's already ridden out a few years of a miserable team (an argument could probably be made that he cost them higher draft picks by being so good & winning games they had no business winning...but that's a different discussion), I can easily see where he wouldn't want to spend the next 2-4 years getting shelled nightly.

And with Dostal developing right in line with all the young blood that the Ducks are getting, this might not be a bad thing. Stolarz would be serviceable on a rebuilding team, letting Dostal be the backup/1B & getting experience without being totally thrown to the wolves.
