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

[themelkman]

Future Considerations

 

[AHLdepth]

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.

Congratulations you just won yourself the "Halak silent auction"

 

[innitfam]

A top level contender may just spend the 5th or whatever to keep Halak as extra insurance... maybe Colorado?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Halak was not good with the Bruins towards the end. He was fortunate to get this contract.

 

[Just a Fan]

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.

Halak certainly wouldn’t shore up the goaltending….

 

[DFF]

Good fit for the Oilers

 

[RebuildinVan]

Like JT Miller , Halak is playing himself out of trade consideration...just in the other direction

 

[elitepete]

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.

Shannon has been connected to the Canucks for a while

 

[elitepete]

I'd be fine with any kind of pick for him but would hope for a 4th. Maybe even a 3rd?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Unless the Nucks are willing to pay the bonus he earned playing for them... the line will be short

 

[bernmeister]

Are you interested in reasonable pay for Geo + lesser pick for Halak + better pick? Geo has rfa rights

 

[LaVal]

So he refused to waive it before, but he's willing to now after he straight up tanked any possible value.

Who is Geo?

 

[JAK]

If the other team would pick up the tab for next year, I think the Canucks are open to anything.

But I don't trust this rumour.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Makes sen

So he refused to waive it before, but he's willing to now after he straight up tanked any possible value.

Makes sense actually, no way he’ll earn that save % bonus playing in Van now. He actually has incentive to waive.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Given his recent play I can't think of any teams that are close to making the playoffs that would want him. Honestly asking...what teams that have a chance at the playoffs don't have better options within their own systems already?

 

[Canucks LB]

Legit would trade him for a 7th

 

[bernmeister]

Who is Geo?

Alex Georgiev, NYR other netminder, Shesty backup, but plays sharper w'mo regular starter mins, need to deal, replace w/emerging elc rookie type next yr. We have options for this yr, but a stopgap vet can fit.

who is Shesty

who is Shesty

If I quote Ricky Ricardo and say "Lucy, you just so ridiculous!" are you gonna ask me who Lucy is?

I think his recent play puts his value to the "future considerations" realm.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Halak was not good with the Bruins towards the end. He was fortunate to get this contract.

He also rarely played towards the end
