Need to sign Ryder and Baby, you got a stew going
for sure, add in Lindgren to that list. Imagine the price for the Goalies available in the tier above these types of guys...Still don't understand why Waddell decided to get older in net and fans/pundits thought they'd be Cup favorites. Kochetkov being sheit is the biggest surprise. Thought he'd for sure be at least a lower end No1 by now.
The value for guys like Mrazek, Lyon and Blackwood must be sky high.
Because no gm would sign those three guys over Raanta or Anderson. They’re simply not better goalies. As a Canes fan I agree with you about rolling the dice with often injured goalies, it’s a huge risk but if they’re healthy at the right time it could be the difference in winning the cup.Still don't understand why Waddell decided to get older in net and fans/pundits thought they'd be Cup favorites.

Carolina Hurricanes release G Jaroslav Halak from free agent tryout | TSN
The Carolina Hurricanes released veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak from his free agent tryout on Monday.www.tsn.ca
Why they do Halak dirty like that? What was the whole point of this? I thought the Hurricanes needed a goalie?
You can practice all you in the summer but it doesn't come close to having a real practice with teammates and being acclimated to in game action.
holland likely gives him a PTO...hahaDamn. Was really hoping he'd get signed to get to 300 wins.

ya, that is why I indicated what I did, the oilers should absolutely should give him a PTOSleeping on Halak like always lol.
If I'm the Oilers, I bring him on and rock him out. If he posts .900 like he should, the Oilers can get back in the fight. None of the other options on roster are going to do jack for them.
It doesn't solve all the problems, but it might give them some breathing room so they can figure out what to do. Halak can steal games and is far better than the other folks who can only parrot out 38 years old know.
its very possible for sureY'all keep acting like the Oilers have no interest, but has anyone considered Halak might rather relax than spend a winter in Edmonton getting shelled every night? Article linked says he pretty picky as it is and that only increases as you get older. Quite possible Edmonton has already reached out and either Halak said no or wants too much money to make it worth his while in the tundra.
He signed a PTO with the Canes, I don’t think money is the issue, I think him playing was. He’ll accept if the Oil lets him play.Y'all keep acting like the Oilers have no interest, but has anyone considered Halak might rather relax than spend a winter in Edmonton getting shelled every night?

I’d agree to this. Have an extra practice or three with him onboard, God knows the whole team needs it.LeBrun said today that
1) The Oilers have indeed talked to his camp
2) Halak is unwilling to accept a conditioning assignment to the AHL.

Why would he be so against getting in a few games at the ahl level when he’s sitting at home with no contract and not a lot of options? It’s been months since he’s played in a professional game. Can his ego really be that big?LeBrun said today that

I'm not sure. He's played two professional hockey games since March 31st (and he lost them both and didn't look great). If a team that badly needed goaltending (like the Oilers) were willing to sign me, I personally wouldn't have any issue going to Bakersfield for a couple weeks.Why would he be so against getting in a few games at the ahl level when he’s sitting at home with no contract and not a lot of options?

On one hand I don't blame him. Going from NHL life to AHL life isn't exactly fun.Why would he be so against getting in a few games at the ahl level when he’s sitting at home with no contract and not a lot of options?

He always was a gamerI remember his games for Team Europe in that superstars World Cup in 2016. That was probably the strongest hockey tournament in decades.
He was the main reason that team went to the finals.
