I'l repeat MAF tied for 23rd in the league in save percentage, i'm not expecting these goalies to play like Rask, i'm just expecting them to be average, they have shown they can be at least average when they got a chance to play.

Sullivan gots to go!
Peters is a UFA this summer, and Khudobin is Carolina's future in goal. Present, too. Stalock might be San Jose's future, but they have to commit to him first, since he's a UFA. If he is their future, I'd like to acquire Niemi for us. Jones isn't LA's future, he's LA's future trade bait. Quick is their present and future.
The goalie market may not be great this off-season, but our current starter should be a non-starter as far as keeping him goes. He needs a change of scenery almost as much as we need to be rid of him.

The guy backstopped the Pens to a third cup. The Pens should just dump him and move on. But don't pretend like winning a third cup was a "waste".
Does anyone know at what point MAF's compliance buy out + the new goalie's contract is greater than MAF's contract?

If I'm going out of my way to sign a FA goalie AND find a way to trade MAF, I better be getting a clear upgrade on Fleury. 99% of the ideas posted here are magic bean solutions (a bunch of guys listed with not even a single NHL season to speak for).
Hiller is one name I've seen mentioned that I wouldn't mind entertaining, but a lot of "ifs" would need to work out perfectly in order for that to materialize. Halak was another, but he's gone.

Miller?!?!? If you think Fleury is bad in the playoffs, Miller is an absolute trainwreck. Even if the money was right - which we both know it won't be - I wouldn't want him within 100 miles of the home locker room in Consol.

Some just want anyone but Fleury. Me, either find me someone better or find a better system to play in front of the one you know.
Other than Miller, I see no one who is absolutely better. Hiller is close, but you need to pay him less or you didn't help anything.

He has only had one playoff year with a lower SV% than Fleury's career average in the playoffs, and that was the series against Chicago about a month ago. People need to let go of their emotional attachment to Fleury. If he was a UFA, would you want to sign him for $5M per year?

I don't want Fleury either but only if we are getting a goalie that has a lower cap hit. I would not move him only to pay Miller more than what were paying MAF.

I guess I'm down with getting Reimer and buying out Fleury since people have kept saying that real money is not a problem and buying out 5M is no big deal. But I don't want to give up a lot to get Reimer. If you offer sheet him for more than 3.5 or something, the compensation is a 1st round pick and I don't want to give that up for an only okay goalie whose main appeal is being a little cheaper than Fleury. What could TOR want in a Reimer RFA rights trade?
There is no way you keep scuds on this team. Even if Maata and Pouliett don't play next year, you have Martin, Letang, Borts, Depres, Harrington, samuelson England. There is no way any one can justify keeping non-productive Scuds on this at 3.4MM. If you think his production will increase, then I will sell you any bridge in Pgh for a case of beer. This is the #1 item on the next GM's list, GET RID OF SCUDS.

No offense but if Elliot was on anyone's list, they need to go back to list school. He looks OK under Ken Hitchcock's system and STL's crazy-deep Defense. Here he would look like ****.
I'm all for raiding the SEL but first we have to have good scouts. I'm not convinced we do. See also: knucklheads like Don Wadell.
Nope. I don't ever recall Hiller flopping all over the place during the playoffs, having a mental breakdown. He's not all-world or anything but he would be a good stop-gap until we can either develop our own goalie (Jarry) or sign a better one. He's arguably only had one subpar playoff year and that was last year. He can be better than Fleury while being less expensive (no guarantee someone will offer him a $5M+ contract). Maybe not a lot better, but better and right now that's good enough.

He has two years left, played a ton of wing last season and lead the team in goals. He's not what he was 3 years ago. But this version is still a very good player.

LOL thanks for further proving Randy Butternubs's point. It's "Dumoulin".
