Name themFuck 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
HellebuyckName them
Gibson is basically a higher upside version of Murray with more term on his contract. I wouldn't hate that tho with max retention.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
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.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.
all I want is better than injury prone inconsistent journeyman backups in net.
Is that too much to ask?
I'd rather just pay up and go for it. WE can't risk losing more years in this rebuild. We've done nothing in 6 years in the playoffs. Not in a position to gamble much with goaltendingMake Nashville a godfather offer for Saros. Askarov is better anyway.
with elite goaltending we’re the lightning.
Jack is very likely to be offered a well above market offer.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.
