Lankinen at a crossroads. Is he going to be an NHL goaltender, or is he a Blaine Lacher/Jim Carey?
All we can say is he hasn't shown enough for Hawks to go into another season with no viable alternative
Lankinen has shown enough to be in mix for #1 job but we need a vet who can be a 1B option
UFA market this offseason has some interesting names
Philipp Grubauer
Mike Smith
James Reimer
Tuukka Rask
Frederick Anderson
Chris Dreidger
Jonathan Bernier
Jaroslav Halak
Pekka Rinne
Linus Ullmark
Bolded = Guys I would chase who I think are realistic targets as guys like Rask and Grubauer likely dont leave teams they are with

Why would the Sabres not bring back Ullmark? To the rest of that list.....vomit.
Ullmark is UFA
Its up to him if he wants to go back to Buffalo
And Bernier is a hell of a 1B option for any team and Halak is a reliable vet who can give you 25-35 games
Chris Driedger people
26 year old UFA
6'4" 204lb BIG goalie, which is what works in today's NHL
Excellent numbers
This has got to be our guy
He's a 'gift' the Panthers signed Bobrovsky to a monster deal, then draft Knight at the next draft...Driedger is very very solid...just not gonna see any time in F L ANo thanks on Andrew Hammond 2.0
Most overrated game ever imo. It all comes down to the first 2-3 turns. You either get lucky and are able to expand quick or you're just f***ed forever.It would be amazing if the Kraken took like a ton of goalies and cornered the market on them like when someone corners the market on sheep in Settlers of Catan.
No not a rookieIs Delia still considered a rookie technically?
If so I dont think he has an NHL future
Just way too many flaws in his game
Gonna be tough to get rep on this years squad...Lankinen with that beat chance I think...Blackhawks still waiting for an all-rookie team player from the D Corp... been a few goodies over the years but still no rep...no Keith, no Seabrook, no Hjalmarsson, no Boqvist...Ian Mitchell?
