It honestly blows my mind that this deal wasn't made. It would have been an absolute win-win. Isles get Halak off the books for next season and save 600K in cap space this season by taking on Pavelec. Jets get the perfect guy to run in a one-two punch with Hellebuyck for this season and next.
Maybe the Isles feel they can get a late pick for Halak in a trade with some team that needs a goalie to expose? That's the only explanation I can think of for why the Isles wouldn't do it.
The Pav for Halak deal could still be made. We'll see what happens March 1st. Or it could be Hutchinson for Halak, which I'd also be OK with, even tho the Jets would have to expose Halak in the XD. By the way, Halak is doing quite well in the A: .927 save % & 2.03 GAA in 10 games.
