Speculation: Predict this offseason's goalie carousel

[StephenPeat]

Any interest in taking Neuvirth back at 50%? If so, whats the add to that to grab Grubauer?

I don't think Neuvirth or the Caps have any interest in that. As for Grubauer likely mid-1st Rd Pick value.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Lehtonen: KHL
Halak: Vancouver
Ward : Carolina
Lack : AHL
Bernier: Boston
Johnson: Calgary
Niemi: Europe somewhere
Hammond: AHL
Pavelec: Europe
Khudobin: Dallas
Hutchinson: St.Louis
Hutton: Buffalo

Entirely based on nothing.

Lehtonen: Sm-liiga
Halak: KHL
Ward: Anaheim
Lack: SHL
Bernier: Boston
Johnson: KHL
Niemi: EBEL
Hammond: AHL
Pavelec: AHL
Khudobin: AHL
Hutchinson: Carolina
Hutton: NYI

I think Niemi’s performance in Montreal guaranteed him at least one more chance on an NHL team.

Where do:

Lehtonen - Dallas
Halak - KHL
Ward- Carolina
Lack - Overseas
Bernier - Colorado
Johnson - Overseas
Niemi - Montreal
Hammond - Two way Colorado
Pavelec - Rangers
Khudobin - Boston
Hutchinson - Detroit
Hutton - St Louis

all sign?

 

[General Disarray]

Perhaps Rask is available now?

 

[Team Cozens]

Perhaps Rask is available now?

Anderson as well.

In the Finnish sports media, there's speculation that Bobrovski will have a hard time to continue in Columbus after two horrible playoffs in a row.

Lehtonen -> #2 in Dallas still (nothing better is available and he's somewhat decent still)
Halak -> Vancouver?
Ward -> Calgary
Lack -> Europe
Bernier -> Colorado still
Johnson -> Arizona?
Niemi -> Montreal #2 still. Had better stats than Price in 2018.
Hammond -> Probably re-sign with Colorado
Pavelec -> KHL, maybe Florida
Khudobin -> Boston, unless he gets a big contract or 1b/#1 chance from somewhere
Hutchinson -> AHL
Hutton -> St Louis, or possibly Rangers

I'm pretty sure the Finnish media doesn't count as an insider on this. Also I'd have more faith in their report if Bobrovsky had indeed had a horrible Playoffs.

For used sock tape? I don't see any team handing the reigns over to Allen based on his Jekyll and Hyde game play and there are cheaper backup solutions.

Someone would take him as a 1B.

Teams like Philly love those kinda goalies.

 

[67Blues]

Someone would take him as a 1B.

Teams like Philly love those kinda goalies.

But they'd want another couple of first round picks too, and then at some point St. Louis should just bite the bullet and become Philly's farm team.

 

[Sabre the Win]

After the playoff performance it's almost certainly going to be Grubauer.

I would love to see him in Buffalo this year, what would you want?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I would love to see him in Buffalo this year, what would you want?

Caps will likely be looking for a 1st or an equivalent forward prospect. Given that there's zero chance the Caps get Buffalo's 1st, maybe someone like Cliff Pu?

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Have to think the Leafs move 2 of 3 guys, Likely keep Sparks because of the year he had, is a big guy and only makes $675k next season. Mac had a big year but is in his mid 30's already, and Pickard probably wouldn't clear waivers.

Marlies goaltending would need a complete overhaul if Kaskisuo is let go as well, but something needs to give there.
