So Talbot isn't very happy with Fleury's signing and will likely be looking for a starter role with another team, Adams needs to make a move.
Apparently Islanders do not want to trade Varlamov.
Kuemper and Campbell don't seem like an option for Adams.
Comrie or Holtby in UFA, I prefer Comrie option.
Hill or Blackwood, but I would definitely prefer Talbot.

I was ready to settle for Holtby. Even that seems wildly optimistic now.
This is musical chairs with way too many players.

It's amazing to me that there aren't better goal tenders in the league.
If they can get Portillo in Roch, I'm ok with them staying put for now, though I really wanted to see Anderson upgraded - but here we are. Just the fact that Adams is trying to do something about it (drafted one, trying to make a trade) means he recognizes the issue. I was worried it was a blind spot for him.
Don't overpay now in the UFA market or via trades unless things look a little more desperate and/or you don't get Portillo in here.

He never does.
With that, I can definitely see Talbot being moved before the season. Guerin will soften up a bit if he ever wants to sign another FA and not destroy his locker room.

The goalie market seems wild right now. You have two choice, go in guns a-blazing r sit back and wait for the dust to settle. You go in half hearted, you end up signing Braden Holtby to a 6 year contract or trading a couple of 2nds for James Reimer. Offer Kuemper and/or Campbell 3 years at a huge dollar amount, or sit back and wait. After all the commotion, you end up getting Antii Rantaa in September because Kochetckov beats him out for a roster spot.
I’m in favor of shooting your shot, and if you miss, fading into the background.

Sweet!! At least he'll be a fan favourite, regardless of whether he can stop the puck.

Probably has a lot on his mind with the Kaprizov situation also, so I can't blame him for being a little shitty to an agent whining to him a couple hours after you sign a 2nd goalie.

They could get really creative - broker a deal where another goalie with a short-term contract moves through Buffalo with retention (paid for in assets from the Wild) for Talbot. That could give Guerin the flexibility to have a full roster and a smidge left over for recalls and deadline banking purposes.

I'm totally jacked up for Wednesday to see the last decent available goalies sign somewhere else. After Campbell/Kuemper, there's nobody worth a damn to be excited about at any position.

It's almost certainly going to be a trade, right? Either Talbot or one of the SJ guys.
MAYBE they'd take a gamble with Eric Comrie?

That's probably the only way. Minny could use some walking around cash but would still need to fill out the roster. Could calm angry Bill. Adams isn't sitting on his thumbs so I'm looking forward to seeing how it shakes out.

Comrie, in theory, is the same Ville Husso, only played 20 fewer games, risk, but there may be a reward. All other goalies in UFA are not interesting, they are simply not good. (Of course, this does not apply to Kuemper and Campbell)
There aren't any trade candidates that are worth getting excited about either. Maybe Talbot but I don't see why Guerin has to cave to that scenario quite yet.

If we end up going the trade route, I expect it to be close to the start of the season.
The lack of urgency Adams has expressed might drive fans crazy, but I'm guessing he doesn't want other GMs price gauging, especially in a limited goalie market, where sellers have the leverage.
If he gives the impression that we're ok with Anderson and UPL, some team holding out in hopes that we'd pay through the nose might drop their price. I guess you have to hope those teams still exist though, and that goalies are still available
