Quoting: Celtics21
The state of goaltending in the league isn’t very good. The question is who’s on his NMC and whether an extension would adjust his mindset.
The two teams in the East that I would require a premium in a trade would be Carolina and NJ. They are the strongest teams with the weakest goaltending.
If that’s the case, you should fire your GM. 10 to 15? In what universe. You going to completely disregard last year?
Again. I’d rather have Saros, Helle, Igor, Sorokin, Oettinger, Demko, Swayman, Gustafsson, vasy, Adin hill next year than Ullmark.
You can argue about a few other goalies.
Why would I fire Fitzy? He built a fantastic roster out of the scraps he started with. Goalies are the most volatile position in Hockey. So far he’s given us quality goaltending last year, and we haven’t hit the trade deadline this year.
If you try and charge a massive ridiculous price, Car and NJD move on. They both have shrewd GMs who aren’t gonna get ripped off.
That leaves who? Edmonton is 100% on his NTC.
The only other team I see is LAK. And if they’re the only team in the realistic market, they set the price. Not the team trying to sell their second goalie.
But hey if you want to take less to keep Ullmark out of the conference, go ahead.
