Don't believe he can play in a regular season game under a PTO.......
With Carolina not having a minor league affiliate, this brings up an interesting question. Do they call up Kochetkov and offer Halak to replace if they choose to sign him?

They certainly cannot run with Raanta as a 1A; he can't take that kind of workload for long.

To me it tells me that Andersens injury is serious and they are looking at a long term 3rd stringer, not a back up replacement.

He's actually kind of underrated, career .915, 53 shutouts, 5 wins away from 300, and probably one of the last sub 6-foot goalies.
Eh, I always thought of him as 1A guy, which is fine, but it means you need a 1B to play 30 or so games. Also I think Saros is going to keep the <6’ club going for a while.

What did that habs 2nd rounder from back in the day ever turn into?
Can’t remember what year 2nd it was, but as Ryder and Halak only played 2 seasons together as Habs, 2006-2008, I’m assuming it had to be one of 3… 2007, 2008, or 2009
2007 was P.K. Subban
2008 was Danny Kristo
2009 was traded to Calgary, who later traded it to Colorado, who drafted Stefan Elliot
