I think we can get someone for pretty cheap. Who are we competing with in the goalie market? What other teams are looking for starting goaltending?

Winnipeg possibly, Toronto, us... I can't think of anyone else who doesn't have a settled and/or expensive guy on their roster.

Lots of teams might be looking to pick up a backup or 1b type guy, but we're one of the only ones who can offer the starting job, I think that gives us a lot of leverage.

I wouldn't mind Raanta (I like Finnish goalies) the UFA I really want is Reimer. If we're trading for someone I want Neuvirth, I'm gun-shy about going after another Ducks goalie.

2 years, 3.5 per for Reimer, qualify Ortio for a season, let them fight it out and give Gillies at least a full year, maybe 2 starting for Stockton.
