Can't see him being worth all that much. Maybe to Washington for a 4th or something.

4th sounds good to me…. Call Martin up… it’s win win…. Would also like a low level prospect

He has been Fantastic this year, 4th pre last game maybe (due 2 cap structure), But after next game, He is worth 2nd+

May have to wait to see where the other goalie pieces fall first. Don’t think he is anyone’s first choice and teams probably want more time to evaluate their own goaltending situation. Just for example, imagine Was or Col trade for Halak, and then one of their goalies go down (in fact Vanacek just got injured). With that injury maybe you want a better upgrade then Halak, like MAF or Varlamov for example. I think most teams will want to want closer to the deadline to acquire a goalie.

Lol why on earth would Vancouver do that. What is their incentive?

I would love to have him back in Montreal but I’m scared he’s going to start winning games for us and ruin our chance for the 1st overall draft pick.

Whoever is getting him will acquire a solid goalie.

Lol why on earth would Vancouver do that

Better goalie signed for longer.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Better goalie signed for longer.

Better? Why is he better? Halak has consistently outperformed Mrazek by basically every metric.

Mrazek's contract is not an asset. The Canucks don't want an oft-injured 3.8m backup.

 

[izzy]

Better goalie signed for longer.

based on what?

 

[Duodenum]

Better goalie signed for longer.

Signed for too much money. Canucks are looking to shed cap for next year. Don't need a high priced backup behind Demko.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

based on what?

Based on the same reasoning as to why Mrazek was touted as a clear upgrade over Andersen this summer, maybe?

 

[Mal Reynolds]

Better goalie signed for longer.

Sure, Mrazek can be pretty damn good in spurts. As inconsistent as there is though imo. And definitely not the most durable guy either

And in this instance, doubt the Canucks want a goalie with term (especially if they're on the hook for Halak's bonus)

 

[Seventy7]

Unless there’s an asset coming back, or cap relief… just keep him. One of the better backups in the Chell

 

[Forge]

The Devils should get in on it, but I'm assuming that there is going to be a market and they probably don't feel the need to spend to lessen the awfulness of a bad season.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I can't see any team willingly taking on Halak's signing bonus unless Halak is coming for damn near free.

Lmao good one. No thanks

 

[elitepete]

You mean worse goalie on a contract that we don't want?

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Halak for Ryder and a 2nd.

 

[elitepete]

Canucks accept.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Halak for Ryder and a 2nd.

Would love to see Halak finish his career back in MTL. Probably makes no sense but would be fun.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

This dude has been so good for so long its crazy

 

[Seatoo]

As long as no or minimal cap is coming back I’d be content with a late round pick for Halak.
