Sportsnet: John Shannon- Halak willing to waive no trade Clause

[UrbanImpact]

Halak hasnt been great the last couple of starts but the team played terrible in front of him. He would still be a fantastic insurance policy and would actually do well if the starter gets injured and he has to be " the guy". Part of Halak's struggles has been mentioned that his starts in Van are few and far between as Demko has emerged into a franchise goalie but Halak would be the type that the more ice he sees the better he plays.

Interested to see what a return would be like? Guessing around 3rd or 4th

Well, who needs a veteran backup?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Who needs a tank commander?

The thread title reads like he was asked and said he would waive. Not like somebody said they "believe he would," which is actually what's going on.

Halak has been awful as of late, not sure what his value would be, if any. 11 goals on his last 26 shots, in two huge games for the Canucks.

His numbers are ugly this year but he’s a good option for a veteran back up. Would be a good insurance policy for a playoff team looking to go deep.

Ya hes been bad post covid. Tough to really blame him though with getting only 3 starts in a month and usually playing on the back end of the back to backs.

I still think teams know what he can bring to the table and he would be a very reliable insurance

Did anyone make a joke about packaging him with Ryder and a 2nd yet?

 

[GoldenSeal]

What would be the cost for Halak?

I was thinking about it…

Mid round pick

Honestly a 4th is fine. Would have said a 3rd a month ago but he's had a rough past couple starts. Team plays like crap in front of him every time though

Canucks don't have their 2022 2nd. So going to have to Ryde(r) this one out.

What would be the cost for Halak?

7th rounder

 

[nucksauce]

If we get anything of value it will be suprising. I like Halak and all but value isnt there, I dont see him getting picked up by a contender maybe if MAF does leave chicago Halak could find his way to there? Honeslty a 7th or future considerations would be fine he needs a fresh start and the Canucks need Spencer Martin on the roster.

Straight up for Mrazek….lol

I could see them being add ons in a bigger deal to sure up the Leafs backup situation and cap navigating if the Leafs add one of Vancouver's wingers. Im pretty sure these 2 teams are close to a deal. Just intuition.

 

[SherVaughn30]

A shooter tuiter has more value than Halak right now.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Take Edmonton's 4th.

Gillies shouldn't see NHL ice ever again, and we'll ruin Daws if we lean on him as a #1.

 

[BatVader]

What would be the cost for Halak?

Ryder and a 2nd…..

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Good 2nd/3rd goaltender for a contending team.

 

[BKarchitect]

He’s definitely not a primary backup option on a team trying to win anything but he’s fine as a nice veteran third string insurance policy. Expect the return to match the role.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

As meh as the Caps goaltending has been the Caps pass.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

His play is it’s own is it’s own NTC

 

[mouz135]

Good. Get him the f*** out of Vancouver and call up Martin
