Edmonton with their Campbell situation… or do they trust Skinner enough?
Devils want an upgrade in net with Vanecek
Kings have Copley injured and want a reliable backup behind Talbot
Blues done with Binnington?
Vejmelka of the Yotes on the move?
Will Preds’ Saros ever be dealt for a king’s ransom? If not him then Askarov (G) for a top prospect in a different position?
Is Knight ever coming back from his minors stint?
With Raanta passed on waivers, does Carolina just cross their fingers Kochetkov holds the fort down until Andersen comes back or do they find an alternative?
Regardless of the Flyers success, is the rebuild path still Briere’s MO? Will he trade Hart if the price is right? Maybe one’s backup plan if other goalies aren’t available?
I am sure I missed some, but plenty of goaltending talk to consider it madness. Will the Flames move on from one of their goalies to call up Wolf for good?

Leafs can't go into the playoffs with Woll. He's young and unproven. Binnington seems to be a perfect match for the attitude Treliving likes. Capability wise I'm skeptical that he's any good any more. But I can see St. Louis dealing him.
Can't see Hart being dealt.
As for the Flames, I think the best move would be deal Markstrom. If you can get a 2nd, great. Why not move out from a long term contract? I'd also move on from Vladar, and get into a cheap comeback goaltender situation to give Wolf 30% of the starts from this point, with perhaps 50% as early as next year. Vladar isn't good, and you need a goaltender who doesn't get shaken. Would be nice to bring an old vet in to mentor Wolf.
