Toronto, Philadelphia, LA, New Jersey, Carolina, Colorado, Detroit, Ottawa, and even Buffalo could be in the goalie market this offseason. Some of those teams might need to improve to keep their window open or open their window in the first place, while others might want a solid veteran to tandem with a younger option.
At the trade deadline, there were limited options and limited suitors. The summer isn’t going to bring more options (certainly nobody of note who wasn’t already available and nobody who is better than the top three of Saros/Ullmark/Markstrom) but it will bring more suitors.
It’s going to be interesting, at very least.
