You do realize that all the players names you mention, are just that players. None of them are goalies.How is it a pedantic distinction? Would you consider Larkin an “All-Star” when he scored 45pts but represented the Wings at the All-Star game? What about Girgenson? Frans Nielsen? Howard? You should put little to no stock in the AHL all star game.

Obviously it all depends on international development of their own goalie prospects but I think because most of those teams will likely be very strong in a year they would be desirable places to play.
As many have posted I think he ends up with 8-8.5 million dollar a year deal unless someone really overpaid.
If you want to talk about overpaidville, then look at Price and Bob! They are great goalies, but exactly have they done? Neither has had good playoff numbers. If I was an NHL owner and I was gonna invest $10 million a year in a goalie, without a doubt I would choose Holtby over Bob/Price. The funny thing is, Holtby has put up very good playoff numbers with an organization that has one of the worst playoff records in NHL history!Where does he end up? Overpaidsville.
Yup his time is up and he has to move FORWARD from the Wings!I forgot that Jimmy Howard was a forward
Someone probably already jumped on this, but Mikka Kiprusoff was a mirage ?Flames really haven't had a good #1 since Mike Vernon. If there's one piece that is missing from the team that could really make them a serious Cup contender, it's goaltending.
I don't think the Sens will be a marked destination for top name FA.Ottawa so badly needs a goalie. Wouldn't be a bad idea as melnyk might be willing to pay him to get to the cap floor with so much youth and ELCs/bridge deals on the payroll in the coming years with them on the upswing
They could, but would he really want to be there? Coyotes look like an up and coming team that could start to make the playoffs regularly, but they are not a Cup contender and I think Holtby will want that with his next team.If Raanta can't stay healthy, Arizona could possibly use him.
With a 2.62 GAA and a .907 save percentage ?He was an AHL All-Star last year.
I never suggested either of those guys weren't overpaid, merely that Holtby will be the next one to get the brinks truck thrown at him.If you want to talk about overpaidville, then look at Price and Bob!

A funnier retort would have been "But he is a Wing !"Yup his time is up and he has to move FORWARD from the Wings!
I agree but if they show they're on the up trend and melnyk is actually willing to pay NOW it's possible.I don't think the Sens will be a marked destination for top name FA.

Varlamov did with the Isles albeit for only 5 mil per after a mediocre season.I can’t see a thirty year old goalie willing to sign for just 4 years unless it’s a severe overpayment. He would look great on the Avs though!!!
I doubt Yzerman would pay the premium for a goalie who will be 31 yrs. old next Sept. He certainly wouldn't be the highest bidder either. But from a needs stand point sure, he's still one of the best.Detroit?
It really isn't. The ASG is about the inclusion of all clubs, so there are unworthy all-stars all the time. The end of season all-stars are the top players in their position league wide and is an actual award.This is just a pedantic distinction to make.

Miika Kiprusoff is Calling...Flames really haven't had a good #1 since Mike Vernon. If there's one piece that is missing from the team that could really make them a serious Cup contender, it's goaltending.
Samsonov is the real deal and most definitely will be on the Caps roster the following season.
