Halak has really good stats, I do sometimes wonder what is going on the behind the scenes that makes teams sour on him.

Regular Season

Bishop- GP: 263 SV PCT: .919
Halak- GP: 388 SV PCT: .916

Playoffs:

Bishop: GP: 36 SV PCT: .927 (4th among active goalies)
Halak: GP: 30 SV PCT: .924 (5th among active goalies)

If you can get the Islanders to cover a chunk of that Salary going through the end of the season with Elliot and Halak would be an improvement, and Halak at $2.5M -$3.0M next year wouldn't be much of an issue IMO.

It's actually pretty crazy when you think about it, look at Career NHL Save Percentage leaders (active goalies):

Schneider: .923
Rask: .923
Holtby: .922
Lundqvist: .920
Price: .920
Bishop: .919
Luongo: .919
Bobrovsky: .918
Crawford: .918
Rinne: .917
Dubnyk: .917
Halak: .916
Varlamov: .916
Quick: .916

Considering the rest of those guys are all considered as bonafide #1 elite goalies, it kind of feels like a "One of these things is not like the other" situation. For me though one more year of Halak looks way more appealing than 2 more years of MA Fleury.
