There's more teams than there are legitimate starting goaltenders in this league so teams will always take a flyer on a goaltender that's got a history of good play. Maybe the team has to eat a bit of money on the contract but I don't see any scenario where they would have to add picks or prospects to sweeten a deal.

The problem is his deal, three more years at six milliion. That's a big commitment to a 33 year old who's coming off a bad year. I'm sure you can move him but you have to take a similar deal back.
I think you ride him at least another year and expect a bounce back. It should be easier to move him then.
