Is he still good enough to be a cheap backup?
There goes the dream of 30 teams taking Heiskanen and Niemi for a late first.
Edit: TY mod.
This man won a cup as a starting goaltender.
If I was Sakic, I actually would've done this trade, Duchene for Heiskanen and Niemi + a mid-round pick if he can squeeze something like that out. We have the cap space.
Otherwise, I'd wanna do a deal around Honka, a pick, Niemi, and Tyson Barrie.
This will likely end his NHL career.
Worst goaltender in Sharks franchise history. Can't believe they wasted 5 seasons using him as a starter.

Lot of harsh words for Niemi here, wasn't Lehtonen noticeably worse?
