Quoting: Marcsnack
Although I agree, the only reason we may not get more is because there will be a decent amount of goalies on the market.
Gibson, Markstrom, Gustavsson, Saros, Binnington/Hofer, Vejmelka, Merzlikins & Ullmark are all guys who have been mentioned in trade talks.
The teams who could have interest in acquiring a goalie would/could be EDM, LAK, COL, NJD, PHI, BUF, DET, OTT & TOR, and some of these are stretches, so because there are so many available goalies, and only some of these teams really need to starter, it might drop values overall.
In almost every case there the team that moves out a goalie is going to need to replace one. Look at Markstrom who is going to fill the spot? Wolf, He had a .893 save% last year at the NHL level. He's not ready for a full time role yet. That same is true with Saros, who replaces him?
The same is true down the line. Almost every case there is the same. You look at Merzlikins, he struggled worse than Jarry last year. That's a hard contract to move because of it, even CBJ fans know that.
The one guy on there you can count is Ullmark.
There are just more holes than there goalies. The teams who are looking don't want to fill with the likes of Merzlikins as most of them are trying to be playoff teams. I mean EDM, LAK, COL, NJ, DET, and TOR were either in or were close and wanted to be in last year. They will be looking for a better goalie than guys like Merzlikins and Givson who's fallen off.
So while I agree there are goalies on the Market, it's just musical chairs. The teams who have a guy to move in, need to move a guy out to do it, like the penguins. But a lot of them aren't in a hurry because they don't have to be. Like STL doesn't need to move Binnington because Hofer is on a league min deal. They can wait it out and see what happens and they probably will.
So the market I think is more scarce than you realize.
