Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

In order of who I would prefer:

Ullmark - This would be my first choice besides Grubauer, hes a UFA so you dont need to give up assets in a trade and hes put up good numbers behind a weak BUF team. With a better defensive team in front of him I think he could do really well

Merzlikins - small NHL sample size but hes put up good numbers in that time and should continue to do so. This would depend on what direction CBJ wants to go with their goaltending since they would have to choose between Merzlikins and Korpisalo. I would not be interested in Korpi but if they make Merzlikins available I would definitely check in on him

Kuemper - Didnt have the best season but hes been great in the past. Theres some injury concerns but when healthy I think he would be good behind COLs D core

Khudobin - DAL has Oettinger, Holtby, Khudobin, and Bishop so Im pretty confident that they are going to move a couple - my guess is Khudobin and Bishop are both moved (unless Bishop is still injured then maybe they only move Khudobin). Hes getting up there in age but I think in the short term he can still be a reliable goalie

Bishop - Same as above but there are more injury concerns here and he has a higher cap hit. If hes healthy and the surgery doesnt affect his play then this could be a high risk high reward play

Vanecek - Honestly im not a huge fan of him but he is cheap and would allow COL to add another significant piece to the F or D core

Also I think Fleury could be a wildcard. If he doesnt want to move to CHI but is willing to go to COL (probably a long shot but whatever), then I would put him near the top of this list. CHI would probably need to retain to make it work but if Fleury is interested that would definitely be something to look into
