Offseason Is The Worst Season
I'd be hesitant to trade a lot for a guy who has clearly checked out and given up on his team.

Kyrou or Thomas for 1 year of Bob just isn't feasible. Maybe Blais + Allen +some sort of a bit more cap and a pick. I just don't know how many more firsts we have to ship off.

I feel like the Islanders are CLB's best bet to overpay since I think Lou will value having a guy like Bob more than any other GM would.
Carolina, St. Louis, Calgary, Philadelphia (which would be hilarious), and maybe a surprise team like Minnesota or the Oilers could make some sense.
The hard part is this list will be cut down by his trade list, The Jackets would be in a weird spot if he leaves, and teams simply don't pay big goalies, even if they are star goalies.
For a UFA goalie I would be shocked if the return was more than a lottery protected 1st and 2nd, even with an extension.
I think the more interesting thing is how does CLB view their team and this season if they trade Bob, or are even considering it? They have a good team as it stands, but if Bob goes for whatever assets they can get, then you have to do the same with Panarin. Then all of a sudden you aren't a very strong team anymore. It wouldn't be a rebuild as much as a re-tooling, but what else do they consider doing ?

Lou is going to go hard at him if he reaches UFA. Curious to see what the BJ can get for him before the deadline

Couldn't just let us have ONE nice compliment... LOL (I was thinking the same, decided to relish in the thought)
IMO at this point in time the Jackets know that Panarin will be gone so the asking price for Bob might be someone to be a close replacement for Panarin. Who can the Blues offer up?

Isles aren't going to make a panic trade for Bobrovsky with him looking the way he has so far this season. Plus Lehner has played exceptionally well.

hahaha it totally messed up my train of thought when I read that. Like does Malkin/Trotz/Lou plus the soon to be built Belmont arena actually put the Isles in that tier? I don't know what to think anymore. Up is down and left is right!

Korpisalo, he's actually very good and has starter potential. Next season though? Probably not.

If he's looking at Price money how many can afford him and keep a good team?
Carolina has cap space but will they spent is still a question with the new owner.

I don't see how a soon to be UFA goalie is going to get a "close replacement for Panarin". Looks like he has a full NMC as well, per Capfriendly, so who knows how many teams he's going to okay a trade to.

Better to trade him than give him ridiculous contract like Montreal did with Price.
Price contract is an aberration IMO. No goalie is coming close to making that much $$.
Price had all the leverage in the world and squeezed out as much as he could.
I’d be shocked if Bob made more than 8M.

He and his agent can use Price's contract to their benefit, and we all know how stupid Gm's can get on UFA market.
8M seems like the past for top tier goalies, and even still I wouldn't go 8x8 for Bob.
Carolina was the only team with need/cap space that I could think of, but
I wouldn't give a goalie in his 30's superstar money.
