Player Discussion Jaroslav Halák

not sure what Jaro will be looking for but his value can`t be under stated

Look at a team like the Leafs who, up to obtaining Campbell, I believe had their backup goalie provide them with a putrid 9 pts

For whatever the reason, this league has shifted to a standard that a contender, while obviously having a clear #1 has to have a backup goalie who can provide the team with steady play for say 20 games or so to give that top goalie a break and have them fresh for the playoffs

Question the B`s will have to ask themselves is, who is out there this summer who could provide what Jaro does for an amount that isn`t a cap killer? I don`t know this league well enough to know who that could be

I doubt he'd settle for a one year contract. But the way Vladar has been playing of late leads me to believe he could step in soon. And Tuukka's contract is up after next season.
