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. Halak won only 1 game for the Canucks and has played in 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not lost in regulation since we removed Green and Baumgartner from the equation. Patrick Roy in his prime would struggle playing behind a system coached by those 2 morons.

To be fair that isn't as much his fault because of that. The amount of running support he has gotten has been pretty nil during most of those games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been getting the same sort of support right now. Koskinen hasn't really been great either. IMO EDM needs a couple stable goalies so maybe they get desperate. Halak has played better IMO. Moot point though because Halak has all the say. I wonder why they won't give Skinner a shot, does it have to do with roster implications? They sent him back down when Smith returned. He was putting up better numbers and has a 4-5 record. He seems to be their goalie of the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If I have learned anything about these "rumor" threads it is that 99% of the time they are more speculation because some guy came out and said "Canucks should move Halak to avoid his bonuses" then armchair GMs everywhere lost their marbles about the cap hit it'll get next season. Besides, what a great message that'd send to guys that may sign here. "Yeah we trade players that may reach the player bonuses we gave them." Who are we, Eugene Melnyk? Also, Halak has a NMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just waive Koskinen, no one will claim him but should clear Skinner's ELC cap hit so he could play. Coach Tippett doesn't want to go with a rookie maybe? Would take an overpayment for me to trade Halak to the Coilers, we are trying to take their playoff spot. Trading Halak gives them a good G who could prevent us from possibly making the post season. Trade Halak to Colorado or another team in a different conference. Coiler should see if they can get Ullmark from Boston, if Rask is going to be back on the cheap and they believe in Swayman move Ullmark for a decent return from Edm...1st plus if they take Koskinen back to bury in the minors as part of the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of goalies that have played at least 8 games this season Halak is 22nd in sv% (.915) and 20th in GAA (2.59 GAA). These numbers despite playing 3/4's of those games behind baumers tire fire defense. To even insinuate that halak is to blame for those 7 losses would be preposterous.

I think your key is his save % which is more than decent. Add Halak's history of playing big in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sell.the.team Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 this is the most Canucks thing ever.... sign an aging goalie to a cheap contract and give him a NMC and then try to trade him a few months later..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertorama Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What about Halak to Edmonton for a top 9 forward. I feel like Jesse Puljujarvi or Yamamoto would be a nice addition to top three lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get either player for Halak If Edmonton dangles either of those players it'll be for D They're honestly better off trying to get Fluery out of Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
