What will a #1 goalie at $1,000,000 get and what teams would want him.
Crouse and a pick from the Yotes

Not sure why people are so high on Bennett, not great offensively, good, but not great defensively, not overly physical. I'd rather just go for picks.Bennett and the rights to Talbot from Calgary?
He would allow one of Johnsson or Kerfoot to be traded, thus saving more cap. And he's a nasty piece of work to play against, along with putting up 8 points in 10 playoff games including 5 goals.Not sure why people are so high on Bennett, not great offensively, good, but not great defensively, not overly physical.

Hawks got Subban and 2nd for Lehner.
So 1st or 2nd + sweetner
Holtby is a UFA. Teams are looking to cut costs, and there isn't a better goalie out there for $1 million in actual money.He's worth way more to us than in a trade.
With Holtby and Kuemper available in trade, teams will be reluctant to give up assets for him until after the draft and maybe even after how free agency shapes up.
We should keep him because without him, I highly doubt we even make the playoffs.
Well, Bennett has 15 points in 19 games over the last 3 playoffs for the Flames. And he's cheaper and younger than both Kerfoot and Johnsson.Based on rumours, a good 1st round pick (i.e. 19th overall from Calgary). He is immensely valuable under the current circumstances, and teams would love to be able to add a quality starter for 1 mill, even if it is only for one year.
Bennett is not worth that much. You can probably get him for spare parts just for Calgary to dump the cap hit. He had a good playoffs, but I think they would take pretty much anything they can get at this point, because he is a black hole offensively and he is not really anything special defensively either.

Oh it's definitely a risk. It will all depend who is in front of him though. But I suspect there will be a much lower cost tandem.Apologies. Yes, I know, Holtby is a FA. Hence, the reference to free agency.
I just don't think a team will give up enough to entice the Leafs. If we go with Campbell as a number 1, that's a huge risk.
Freddy has a modified NTC, with a 10-team blacklist (teams he can’t be traded to). Does anyone know what this list is?
He’s worth the most for teams meeting these criteria:
For teams like that, he’s easily worth a mid-to-late 1st. The question is, are there any such teams who aren’t on his blacklist?
- Needs a goalie
- Don’t spend to the cap, limited by real money
- Don’t think they can sign a top UFA goalie, or think the UFAs will be too pricey/long-term/risky. Worth noting that this is a pretty strong year for UFA goalies - Lehner, Markstrom, Holtby, Khudobin, Crawford, Greiss, etc.
Furthermore, I’d be uncomfortable going into the season with Jack Campbell as our clear #1. I’d only deal Freddy if we can sign a new #1, or at least someone who can be part of a tandem with Campbell.
It’s teams under self imposed cap at a lower limit that can get a starter of high quality at a million bucks but a cap hit of 5 million. Lots will be interested.The 1M in base salary helps. However, he'd still potentially be in his walk year. Not sure how that balances out in terms of trade value. I suppose the market would be contenders looking for a starter.
Same, one or two rumours and now we're all just pencilling in a 1st for him in all the trade proposals I've seen. Does anyone else think other teams around the league saw how bad he was last year? A .909 sv% these days is backup/replacement levelI really can’t see a 1st rounder.
Could definitelyHe’s a rental. But gives a team who needs to cut budget a savings of 4m real dollars while keeping them competitive.
Gotta be a first right?
