Speculation: Predict 2020's goalie carousel

[voyageur]

Alot of UFA goalies heading into October.

Should be some movement:

Here's a random prediction.

Markstrom re-signs in Vancouver

Freddie Andersen is traded to Minnesota, Dubnyk is bought out.

Holtby signs with the Blackhawks

Khudobin goes to Washington

Lundqvist signs with the Leafs

Greiss returns to S.J

Craig Anderson signs with the Isles.

Corey Crawford signs with the Red Wings

Jimmy Howard goes to Buffalo to compete with Hutton as a backup.

Mike Smith signs in Ottawa

Talbot re-signs in Calgary

Elliot re-signs in Philly

Lehner re-signs with the Golden Knights

Fleury gets traded back to Pittsburgh to platoon with Jarry.

Matt Murray gets traded to Dallas

Kuemper gets traded to Edmonton


Could be other moves but those are ones that I think are on the table with about 1/4 of NHL teams making some significant changes.

You quite literally could not make a worse prediction than this one right here.

ok i will do some editing

 

[GAGLine]

I doubt Anderson will sign with NYI to play in the AHL. He isn't going to play over Varlamov or Sorokin.

My guess is that Anderson retires.

So you think Carolina sticks with Reimer and Mrazek as a pair?

Disappointing, but not unforeseeable, as a Canes fan.

I'm big on Mrazek. I kind of see Jake Allen on the Canes. Not sure who would take Reimer's contract though.

 

[voyageur]

I doubt Anderson will sign with NYI to play in the AHL. He isn't going to play over Varlamov or Sorokin.

My guess is that Anderson retires.

True enough. Maybe he gets a spot somewhere else. Not alot of spots open for the veteran goalies.

 

[Dallasman]

I don't see the Stars in on Murray.

 

[Rafafouille]

I'm big on Mrazek. I kind of see Jake Allen on the Canes. Not sure who would take Reimer's contract though.

And why exactly would MTL give Allen to the canes? We finally have a decent backup for Price.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Remains to be seen whether Ryan Miller decides to keep playing, but the latest rumblings months ago indicated that he did want to continue. If so I don't think he'd be signing anywhere outside Anaheim or LA.

If Miller is not an option, the Ducks could give Anthony Stolarz a shot at the backup job, maybe sign a similar type to compete with him for the 2/3 positions in the org.

Looks like the league wide carousel may be all greased up and waiting for Vancouver and/or Pittsburgh to flick the switch and get it started. Definitely going to see quite a bit of movement on the goalie front this off season.

Why would Dallas even be remotely interested in Matt Murray when they still have Ben Bishop? Dallas is reportedly looking to shed salary and Murray will want to get paid.

 

[jiggy35]

My predictions include:

Andersen to Arizona (might get flipped again)

Raanta or Kuemper to Toronto (in return)

Holtby to Calgary

Lundqvist to Carolina or Colorado

Mrazek to Edmonton

Greiss to Minnesota

Murray to Ottawa

Hogberg to Pittsburgh (in return)

Stays put:
Markstrom
Khudobin
Crawford
Lehner
Talbot
Elliott
Miller


TBD
Anderson
Dubnyk
Smith
Howard
Fleury
Grubauer/Francouz (if they sign Lundqvist)

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Who else do Pens get from the Sens besides Hogberg?

 

[GoldiFox]

I'm big on Mrazek. I kind of see Jake Allen on the Canes. Not sure who would take Reimer's contract though.

Not sure who would pay $850k salary for solid backup who had a 14-6-2 record last year with a 0.914 SV%? Reports have the Canes getting a lot of calls on Reimer.

 

[ViD]

Khudobin to Washington makes the most sense unless Dallas keeps him

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

My predictions include:

Andersen to Arizona (might get flipped again)

Raanta or Kuemper to Toronto (in return)

Holtby to Calgary

Lundqvist to Carolina or Colorado

Mrazek to Edmonton

Greiss to Minnesota

Murray to Ottawa

Hogberg to Pittsburgh (in return)

Stays put:
Markstrom
Khudobin
Crawford
Lehner
Talbot
Elliott
Miller


TBD
Anderson
Dubnyk
Smith
Howard
Fleury
Grubauer/Francouz (if they sign Lundqvist)

Disagree with Khudobin and Markstrom staying with their respective clubs, Dallas is shedding salary and after the run he had doubt Nil can afford to resign him. And if Markstrom was resigning he'd already been a done deal. Reports are that Benning as been trying to resign Markstrom for the past year. And he's no closer to resigning him now then he was before.

 

[OV Rocks]

Caps will be looking long and hard at Hank. They want Samsonov to own the net but have a capable vet backup to mentor and come in as. Not a 1A 1B situation

 

[The Duck Knight]

Vegas: Lehner+Anderson
Minnesota: Fleury
Calgary: Markstrom
Buffalo: Murray
Colorado:Kuemper
Ottawa: Talbot
Washington: Lundqvist
Vancouver: Hotlby

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Just a reminder that NYI has Sorokin and Varlamov already.

 

[logik47]

Holtby to Chicago
Crawford to Washington
Khudobin to San Jose
Greiss to Calgary
Talbot to Dallas
Lundqvist to Carolina

 

[ElPrimeTime]

I think Lundqvist ends up in Vegas after Fleury is dealt/bought out on a 1 year/2 mill type deal.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Vegas: Lehner+Anderson
Minnesota: Fleury
Calgary: Markstrom
Buffalo: Murray
Colorado:Kuemper
Ottawa: Talbot
Washington: Lundqvist
Vancouver: Hotlby

Sakic said that he's happy with both Grubauer and Francouz, So noway i see him trading for Darcy Kuemper.

Wouldn't be the first GM to lie and certainly wouldn't be the last.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Wouldn't be the first GM to lie and certainly wouldn't be the last.

If he goes for a Goalie doubt it's Kuemper.

 

[Xirik]

Calling all goalies! New Jersey would like a backup goalie that doesn't suck please.
