OTT / DET / CGY / BUF
All need #1Gs and have the cap space to sign him

Maybe BOS if Rask retires

I say he goes to the Island. Yea they have Varlamov, but Holtby was one of Eggman’s favorites and I could see Holtby rocking an Islanders sweater come December.

What do you think he gets for term and money? I think a lot of teams will back away over 6 million. Too many other options and needs. Lots of teams effectively running tandems.

Some team is going to offer him north of 7.5+ in my opinion.

If the Islanders want to sign Barzal, Pulock & Toews there will be zero cap room for Holtby.

Islanders got Sorokin booked next year and Lou paid him 2mill so the tandem will be Varlamov/Sorokin. Cause lets face it u dont pay a guy 2mill to go to the AHL

They have the future starter in net named Sorokin

If Jason Botterill was still the GM than maybe. Carter Hutton was better with vision issues. And Ullmark was a lot better.

Yeah hate to break it to ya, but he’ll be 35 next year and has only started 40+ games once in the past 6 years.
He’s no #1G

Yeah Holtby had an off year, but 4-5 of his last 6 seasons has been good. If BUF wants to be taken seriously, they need a real 1G

Linus Ullmark had .915 save percentage. He got hurt in late January when they were 4 points out. He’s a good goalie just needs to stay healthy.

I think he goes somewhere on a 1 yr prove it deal to try and rebuild value

God I hope it's not the Flames.

We don’t need him, we have Varlamov and Sorokin will be in the NHL next year

Edmonton is my guess

I see Edmonton spending max $5M on a goalie.

He's not really a legitimate option for the Oilers, of course that depends on his contract demands. If he wants Bobrovsky money, not a chance. Although I don't think he will get that from anyone, given as Bobrovksy hasn't turned out and is looking like a disaster from this point going forward.

Lots fo Free Agents are going to get lighter contracts than initially expected given the pandemic and cap staying flat. If he wants a short term deal to try and cash in one last time once the cap bumps up, and only than would the Oilers be interested.

In my opinion, I could see Canucks or Sabres interested. Canucks only if Markstrom walks (which I don't think he will). Sabres might want him to prove to Eichel that they care.

IF he gets a long term deal, I don;t think it'll be a good deal for the team. He was already losing his job to Samsanov and is on the wrong side of 30.

A 1 year deal also means he could potentially sign with the Kraken for their first year, and I could see him wanting to go there. It's a lot closer to where he grew up in western Canada, and I think he'd enjoy the city.

He's going to be taking a paycut. There are so many goalies available and he had a very poor season. I could see EDM signing him for 1yr if Holtby takes a little less

Isles just signed mega-prospect in Sorokin I doubt they'll pay for Holtby

Completely forgot about Sorokin lol, my mistake. Was kinda tired when I wrote that and didn’t think it through.
