Oh def, these next 10-11 games could decide which way the season turns I'd take a pick, he's gotta be one of the better backup options available despite his record It's not as if his numbers are bad, he just hasn't gotten much run support from Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you can hope for from a backup; you can't blame him for Green and Baumer destroying the team in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Koskinen 3.19 GAA .900 SV% Smith 3.76 GAA .898 SV% Halak 2.59 GAA .915 SV% Edmonton is definitely interested. I think Vegas might also be interested in a backup but not as desperate as the oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton should be desperate, but they'll need to shed cap somewhere and we'd need to get another backup somehow. None of their goalies are remotely close to NHL quality, unfortunately.

I’d do Halak for Poolparty.. he might turn in to a beast of a power forward nex year 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time to trade for Puljujarvi was 2 years ago when he was at his lowest value and bet on his potential. Back when everybody on these boards said poolparty was a bust that’s when we should have done that Virtanen and Poolparty swap. Proposed that 2 years ago and got flamed hard. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilers are desperate for an NHL goalie and will have to overpay badly to get one in the middle of the season. If they can't make the playoffs then there is a very real chance McDiver demands a trade out of that hellhole. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a 36 year old backup goalie on an expiring deal for a 23 year old 6’4” winger about to put up a 55+ point season. People are crazy on the asks. There’s absolutely no way that comes back in an actual trade for Halak. Think another prospect and a pick or just a 2nd or 3rd round pick. There will be comparable goalies on the market to Halak so you can’t get as much as some people are asking for. I’d be stoked getting a 2nd round pick.

How many goalies are going to be able to give them a chance to win behind their AHL blueline? Halak is by far their best chance at the playoffs, and any deal with them should hurt them badly. I'd maybe consider Holloway but then they can't get under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Concerning Halak… He’s been ok out there. Not the best, but better than anything available right now. Trading him is not where the Canucks break bank. Even his bonus counting against the cap next year is minimal as Luongo’s $3,035,212 cap recapture will be off the books. God forbid Demko goes down and the Canucks have no one else decent to put between the pipes… You know… BACKUP goalie… Do we not consider backups the insurance policy against total disaster anymore?

Holtby/Virtanen buyouts go up in price next year + Halak bonuses + Hog/Pod bonuses = around potentially 5M in dead cap next year. So I could see why they might be interested in moving him. NMC might make it impossible. Edited January 11, 2022 by Junkyard Dog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
