They actually look like a team with a bit of a future. But the awful arrogance that arises from many of the fans of the Leafs led me to take special enjoyment in their getting out to the 4-1 lead and then blowing it in one of the more impressive blowups of all time . The agony of the Leafs fans was palpable.

Is it wrong that I enjoyed it a bit ? ]]> General flubber http://www.leftwinglock.com/showthread.php?5137-Is-it-wrong-that-I-enjoyed-the-Leafs-collapse http://www.leftwinglock.com/showthread.php?5134-Goalie-buyers-and-sellers&goto=newpost Sun, 12 May 2013 18:38:39 GMT Mike posed the interesting thought about Halak potentially being available, got me thinking about who would be interested in him.

So I pose the question, who appears to be in the market for a goalie, and who appears to have one up for sale?

SELLERS

Vancouver - The obvious answer. Luongo will be gone, and despite the fact this is all looking like deja vu, there can't possibly be a scenario where he plays the backup role for a second straight season.

St. Louis - As Mike mentioned, could Halak be up for grabs? Elliot recovered nicely after his AHL stint, and Jake Allen appears to be the heir apparent to the crease. For a guy who was brought in to be the starter, Halak could find himself as the odd man out very quickly.

Anaheim - Interesting situation with Fasth coming in and playing as well as he did. Hiller will be going into the last year of his contract at $4.5 million. They have a very good goalie in the AHL, Frederik Anderson, and John Gibson in the OHL. It would depend on how comfortable they felt with Fasth, but it's not hard to see a scenario where Hiller is moved by deadline day.


BUYERS

New Jersey - Brodeur can't play forever, and Hedberg is even less likely to do it. Brodeur has a year left on his deal, most likely his last. Why not bring a guy in and give him one year working with (arguably) the greatest goaltender of all time? More likely to go out and get a young guy... Bernier?

Florida - The rumoured destination for Luongo. Theodore is a UFA, Clemmenson has one year left and Markstrom may or may not be ready for the big time yet. Definitely in need of some help.

NY Islanders - Nabokov will be 38. Tim Thomas is not going with them to Brooklyn. We won't even talk about DiPietro. This team took major strides this year, but will need a franchise goalie in order to keep moving in the right direction.


Who do you guys think will be buyers and sellers in the goalie market? ]]> General cbxero http://www.leftwinglock.com/showthread.php?5134-Goalie-buyers-and-sellers http://www.leftwinglock.com/showthread.php?5128-Martin-St-Louis-HOF&goto=newpost Tue, 07 May 2013 17:08:12 GMT Simple question...

My answer is absolutely. 912 points in 979 games, a mere 280 PIMs in his career, only eclipsing 30 PIMs in a season twice. Six all-star games, numerous individual awards including a Hart and a couple of Art Ross, and of course a Stanley Cup in 2004.

Not bad for an undrafted, 'undersized' player. ]]> General cbxero http://www.leftwinglock.com/showthread.php?5128-Martin-St-Louis-HOF
