Here is my thoughts on what is available to him.
Pittsburgh: The Penguins can manage it if they let Morrow and Murray walk and trade MAF.
Pascal Dupuis will need a raise but will come cheaper than Iggy. Tyler Kennedy is a RFA as well. I have no doubt if the Pens win the SC this year he will not be back there. If they don't and he will take a discount he could be back for 1 more year. I don't see anyone banging down the Penguin's door for MAF at that salary and the amount of goalies available this off season. My bet is he is gone.
LA: The team has only 14 players signed for next year and only $14M in cap space and a few RFA's that will need a raise, like Voynov. I don't see any way LA can sign him.
Boston: 17 players signed for next year with around $6.7M in cap space. Even letting Horton and Ference both walk they would still be in tight to sign Jarome.
Vancouver: 17 players signed for next year and they are already over the cap. If they used buyouts on Luongo and Ballard they could do it but Gillis thinks Luongo is worth a fortune so don't bet on him moving.
I don't know where he ends up. Probably the Rangers buy out Richards and sign Iggy, that is my bet.
