Who plays goal next year?

[dudacek]

It’s a given that Linus Ullmark will get one spot.
Who is his partner?

[WildCard]

Probably some FA we pick up. My guess is a Jake Allen, or someone similar

[Randall Flagg]

Anti Raanta and Linus Ullmark.

[Wyldnwoody44]

Dark

Anti Raanta and Linus Ullmark.

 

I was thinking this as well

 

Dark

:lol: 

 

 

Okay, hear me out on this: trade for Lundqvist. He's gotta retire soon anyway, right? Who better to mentor Ullmark for a few years.

3 more years left at $8.5M per. I don't know if we could afford him, but at least he could probably clean up that locker room.

 

Personally, I'd rather pay Thornton a big 1 year deal to come over here and show these asshats how to win

Added a poll.

Pick your three favourites and your three worst moves.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Grubauer.

[dudacek]

Grubauer.

 

What are you giving up for him?

He'll cost as much as Lehner did.

Our 2nd this year and Johansson.

[darksabre]

Our 2nd this year and Johansson.

Are you going to get their GM drunk first?

[WildCard]

One of Holty or Grubauer should be available. I doubt we get either though, especially as Grubauer appears to be the #1 in Washington and likely stays

Holtby is only 28 and signed for 2 more years at 6.1. Washington isn’t keeping both. I’d take Holtby fir he same offer.

What about Lehner for Mrazek straight up? Both are 26, both have had off years, both have played good hockey in the past, both are arbitration eligible RFAs.

Nobody's trading for Lehner. JBOTS would be best served non-tendering him to avoid the embarrassing possibility he gets a raise in arbitration after he can't be moved.

[darksabre]

Lehner has no value. No one will qualify him. They'll sign him as a UFA and not a moment sooner.

If by "they" you mean a KHL team, then I agree.

I believe Lehner is in the SHL next year. He didn’t even travel to Florida with the team.

 

Ullmark and Raantta sounds about right.

No way AZ lets Raanta leave town.

Allen is not a FA.

I like the idea but I think it's premature.  Some goalies are going to be cut.  Notably, as wildcard mentioned, Washington isn't going to keep both.

Another idea I don't hate.  You're on a roll this week.

[Thwomp!]

I think Johnson and ullmark may be a surprisingly good pair. They seemed to mesh well and have good rapport in the food episode of Beyond Blue and Gold. Maybe a case of the sum being much better than the parts?

 

I voted both like and dislike for d4rk though ????

The amount of votes I am receiving is somewhat unsettling.

Your poll crashed me ...  :wub:

Good. I can't wait to see him gone

I think the thought is that if it happens you'd keep posting here and give us all the inside info ????

If a 36 yr old cpa can play in the NHL why not you?
