Quoting: Rhea
There are no shortage of teams who would upgrade the goalie position. Again look at Markstrom.
I wish you luck buddy but I don't see it.
Quoting: CodeLong
Go look up:
- How many teams left still need a goalie (the two biggest are off the board)
- How many teams that want him will he waive too (already reported he will waive to OTT), and declined to waive to another already
- Again, returns for goalies have always been low compared to their value
- He is a UFA in a year, they will lose him regardless so less bargaining power
- Boston needs cap space, they aren't moving him because they really want to, they need room
Wow, I really wanted to look this one up
- apparently teams still interested in finding a goalie or upgrading according to pundits - Canes, Blackhawks, Sabres, Sens, Kings, Wings, Blue Jackets and Aves (looks like there is still demand)
- well he has a 16 team no trade that turns to 15 after July 1st, so 16 to 15 teams he will waive to (basically half the league)
- Goalie returns have been mixed as the sample size for ones who have won the Vezina and that are good....well they don't get moved that often. That being said, Schneider got a 9th over all pick, Varlamov get the 11th overall, Lehner got Legwand the 21st etc. Needless to say Rhea is right that there is value and the 25th likely doesn't get it done.
- Still getting a year at a decent price tag and can sign an extension after July 1st (Bruins can also do a sign a trade etc. etc)
- Bruins have $21 million in cap space with 17 players signed of 23. I am pretty sure they will be ok for cap space, as its not a pure cap dump. More so you don't want to be investing 10+ million in goalies when you need other positions more.
