TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread

Fuck that.

Maybe if we do the double retention and get him for 1.5 or whatever. Even then. Pay for a quality fucking goalie.

This rumor smells of bullshit
 
I have a feeling this board is gonna be fucking pissed at the goalie situation next year, based on the names available out there. And the lack of legit, quality consistent goalie in the NHL doesn't help either. Everyone is a question mark.

Hellebuyck
Gibson? He was legit to start the year. Then Lindholm, Manson got hurt and/or traded.
Varlamov
Kuemper
Fleury? I think he’d be a decent bet. Old tho.
Grubauer? - was it a one off bad year with exp team?
Saros

Gibson is basically a higher upside version of Murray with more term on his contract. I wouldn't hate that tho with max retention.
Fleury stinks
Kuemper is old, will get a huge contract and has been poop in the playoffs this year

The rest are fine options, though likely very costly. Not sure why Nashville trades Saros tho.
 
Lehner is another guy coming off shoulder surgery. Nut case can go either way in this market. I’d wager the city and media would eat him alive.

I wonder if Washington will move Samsonov. He’s struggled but has pedigree. He’s an upside play.
 
I feel like there are like 5 difference maker goalies, and if you cant get one of them, go with the cheapest possible tandem you can, and always have a full stock of AHL lotto tickets.

Paying for mid or meh is a nightmare

Keep in mind that even if they get Murray at 3.1m that doesn't rule them out for the others you listed. They can grab a Varlamov type too and run a tandem.


Disclaimer: I do not support getting Murray. I am refraining from opining on goaltending.
 
If we're gambling, I'm good with gambling on Gibson or Grubauer with some retention unless there is some underlying medical thing that caused them to go from very good to very bad in a hurry.

all I want is better than injury prone inconsistent journeyman backups in net.

Is that too much to ask?

Honestly, I can live with it if one of our two goalies is a guy with some question marks that we’re taking a flyer on.

But the combination of acquiring an inconsistent, injury-prone journeyman backup and paying them top fucking dollar is killer.
 
I think the move is to kick tires on Nashville and NYI goalies. “What would it take to move one of your goalies?” There is a decent chance lou moves Varly, which seems to be the best, most realistic option, but you never know. They both have two (potentially) good goalies and might do something stupid
 
Eh, I could see the Murray rumor being possible, if they retain 50%. We give them Mrazek, they give us Murray, we save $800k on the cap, and throw some nothing prospect at them for their trouble.

But the old saying that it's better than nothing doesn't apply. Nothing is better. Kallgren. Run with it. Just sign Jack to a fair deal.

Jack is very likely to be offered a well above market offer.

Dont be that team.
