I move that needed to be made.

I know what they’re TRYING to do- get someone to pickup all or some of his salary, and try to free up money to get a deadline (or sooner) deal to get a scorer from an out of contention team, or an up against the cap team. It’s obvious. But unlikely.

No team is going to claim Halak with a $4.5 million cap hit. I don’t think the Kings would have any interest in Halak at any price. Budaj has played better than Halak this season. Why would they take on a more expensive goalie option when they have limited cap space? That would make zero sense. Dallas already has a ton of money invested in their goalie tandem. Adding another expensive option that might not be that much of an upgrade makes no sense. Calgary has had up-and-down goaltending, but I’m not sure how much of an upgrade Halak would be. Elliot has played better lately & I would think that Calgary would bet on him returning to his old form than taking a flyer on Halak. There are other teams that have some goalie question marks, but Halak’s price tag is too high. The Bruins could use a backup upgrade over Khudobin, but Halak’s cap hit would mean the Bruins would be paying $11.5 million for their goalie tandem. That’s far too much for a team who needs to add a scorer. The Flyers could have goalie issues with Mason getting injured tonight & Neuvirth still not back from injury. Again, the Flyers don’t have the cap space to add Halak. Colorado could probably use Halak, but they don’t have enough cap space either. So, I don’t see any team that can afford to take on Halak’s salary. The Islanders are going to have to send him to the AHL or pay part of the salary in order to move him.

Someone needs to explain why Garth Snow still has a job.

Would love for my Blues to try to negotiate a deal for him. Our goaltending has been garbage lately – trading Elliott was a huge mistake, like I said from the minute they announced. Allen isn’t reliable enough to be #1. Halak was awesome here before, and goaltending is where we need help ASAP.
