Waived: Jaroslav Halak (upd: clears)
- Thread starter Marc the Habs Fan
- Start date
It wouldn't be immediately- but I don't think Halak is going anywhere anytime soon anyway. If things are still chugging along like this closer to the deadline though I could see Detroit moving Howard out for Halak+. The plus would have to be something fairly decent or that could be the starting point of a bigger deal.
The Islanders and Red Wings are two clubs that have to find ways to right the ship. There's some nice pieces on both teams but (whether or not either is the right long-term choice) Detroit wants to get back into the playoffs for their new arena and NYI is feeling some pressure to look like a winner before Tavares gets to free agency. Howard would have to come back from injury and pick up where he left off- but the changes he's made to his game seem legit. Halak isn't a starter but he might be a good cushion for Mrazek. Could potentially be a win-win and the rare hockey trade between two teams in kinda similar straits?

at some point Snow may bring him back up and then He would have to clear re entry waivers...Islanders would be on hook for half of remaining contract I believe.
Perhaps Flames will chase Bishop .

Can't understand why something with WPG can't be worked out...
Halak (~7.5mil through next year) for Pavlec (~2mil left this year)
or
Halak (~7.5mil through next year) for Hutchinson (~2mil left through next year)
Winnipeg can platoon Halak and Hellebuyck through next year.

He's still getting paid 4.5 million dollars, I'm sure he'll be fine. He will probably get called up in the next two-three weeks
Honest question, where is this stuff that he has a bad attitude coming from? I always remembered him being the silent and very humble type of player during his Hamilton Bulldogs and Habs days. He would always say the right things and seemed like a very likeable person. I just remember two incident one where he was asking Ken Hitchcock to play him during the playoffs when he came back from injuries and more recently him not being happy with the 3 goalies system.
Is that it or did I miss something?

maybe there can be a gentlemans agreement to stay away from the team while snow trys to trade him in a more aggressive manner than prior to waiving him .
i.e - eating 5o% or taking back a contract equal to it

Because that leaves the isles with a 3 headed goalie circus all over again.

No, Greiss could still perform in the same situation.
I'm sure Halak has groin trouble again. Not fit enough to do the job. Berube was only there because Halak can't do his job.
Of course he was misused this season when people should know his history. But he complained and they showed him what he's capable of. That's why nobody wanted him. If he had performed same good as in the wcoh he would have been taken.

Neurvirth for Halak @50%?
He should be eligible for expansion draft right? or does he have a NTC?

He's still a decent starter. Had a couple bad games, but imo doesn't warrant him getting sent down. To me this is more of a retalliation from Garth.
No, he's not a atarter. Halak can't handle the workload.
Of course retalliation. Snow is a ******* and he run him down to show what Halak is capable of. Halak was so bad that nobody wanted him. And this ******* played Halak even when everybody should know that there are less chances to win games.
