Speculation: Carolina goaltending

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Price for Hanafin and Staal ?

I wouldn't do Price for Hanifin OR Staal.

Said Carolina needs goaltending

Yeah? And when I need a car, I don't go out and overpay for a ridiculously expensive older model just because I need a car.

Price for Hanafin and Staal ?

I think Staal gets $6M per season for the next umpteen years, while Hanifin's contract should be in the $4.5M for 5 year range.

Then enjoy a 10th straight year of never getting laid.

My wife might get suspicious if I show up with an IROC-Z.

You can't just "show up," you have to drift it into the driveway at about 45 MPH holding onto the E-brake for dear life.

But she’s a hot wife. She should understand

Orpik the contract wouldn't be a bad thing for the Canes to take on in order to get a guy like Grubauer. Only problem is Orpik the player would cause an utter revolt among Canes fans. He's probably the most hated player among the fanbase in Canes history, even more so then Scott Stevens.

ORPIK!

To Car

Howard

To Det

Darling 25% retained
2nd round pick

Car can afford a pick as they have the #2 overall pick this year plus a top 5 in the NHL prospect pool. They also have young goalies that can be slowly developed with Howard as the #1. Howard is not that bad of a goalie he just has a bad team in front of him.

Det could continue their tank with Darling. By the time his contract is up Det will be competitive again and they could then pursue a #1. Det also grabs another draft pick in a deep draft.

Seems like a win for both teams.

It’s a running joke with BBA.

I'm somewhat aware of the joke. Somewhat.

It’s been a rolling joke with BBA for awhile now.

He’s a good dude though, we’ve bs’d at games before.

x2.

IMO, Halak is rather underrated in this thread. Sure, he didn't have the best season, but his throwback to the 80's GAA is mostly the product of facing an average of 34.6 shots against per 60 minutes. And as Alexei pointed out, considering that the Islanders other goalie had even worse downturn, Halak's probably had more to do with the team than his play.

From a value and risk standpoint, Halak is probably the safest option on the market this summer. He had good numbers as a starter the three years prior to this past season. He'd also probably come cheap and short term on the UFA market, which means they wouldn't have to give up valuable assets to trade for a goalie. They'd also save cap space to make improvements to other parts of their team, like offense and the PP.

Since they're likely stuck with Darling for the time being, I doubt the Canes want to put their finger on the trigger for another round of "Hopefully a good backup becomes a good starter roulette" like they did last summer but with guys like Grubauer, Hutton, Kinkaid, Khudobin, or Bernier, or on guys that used to look like promising future starters that have fizzled out like Mrazek or Lehner.

Have to agree with you on all points. Though, statistically, lehner's bad year came behind the worst team in the NHL.

What's the islanders' future in net? They just gonna wait it out until sorokin is ready?

I really like the direction this thread has gone in and we have that awful Montreal proposal to thank for getting it started.

It's true. My wife has become the Carolina HF board hotwife, even though she's never met anyone on Carolina HF boards.

EDIT: except for Unsustainable, but it was in the concourse and I was there.

Is that meant as a deterrent...or a turn on?

Ruh? I thought that guy with the "My First Three-Way" post was a Habs fan?

Oscar Dansk could be a possibility.

 

[Hulkacaniac]

Oscar Dansk could be a possibility.

Might be interested, but as a starter for next season? Nope.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Oscar Dansk could be a possibility.

Oh my god how did we never think of this?

Dansk is the answer.
