Unfortunately I think there will be a lot of good goalies available. Even in Vegas it's either Lehner or Flower that will be exposed and Flower looked more flowery this season than in the last many. But the kicker will be Free Agency. There are quite a few quality goalies up for contracts this off season and Seattle will have be the team who can write the largest cheques. Possible FA goalie signings include: Grubauer, Freddy Andersen, Driedger, Rask, Ullmark, Mike "Vezina" Smith
, and Mrazek.
Will Seattle be gifted an HOF goalie on a silver platter? Probably not, but I do believe they will still have a quality netminder come the season opener.
