Starting a new thread to put this novel at the top. Come at me thread police.

Did a review top to bottom on capfriendly and tried to keep this concise wherever possible. I can't claim to know very much about teams' goalie prospects aside from the few that I've heard about.

Formatting might be a little ugly, but here is my subjective view of teams who might still like to make changes in net:
Buyer (ie. looking to upgrade)
Seller (ie. want a cheaper replacement)
Wildcard (a change could make sense, but it's not desperate)

PACIFIC
ANA – Need a backup for Gibson and could take some salary. Roster is set, could take nearly 6M.

ARI - bit of a wildcard; Kuemper (30) 2x4.5, Raanta (31) 2x4.25. Would like to be younger/cheaper…

CGY – would probably like to exchange Rittich for a cheaper veteran who is more stable/consistent

EDM – LOL. It’s a mess.

LAK – Quick (34) 3x5.8 doesn’t actually have any trade protections. Nothing seems imminent in their system? Cal Peterson (25) 2x850k has good numbers in 19 games on the bad Kings

SJS – Apparently set for this year w/ Jones and Dubnyk (1x2.1667 RS).

VAN – Set for now.

VGK – Lehner & Fleury (35) 2x7M 10 team NTC. They do have Dansk (26) 1x700k; only 5 games NHL experience, but seems to have had decent numbers…they could conceivably take a skater back for Fleury and sign another cheap veteran G…

CENTRAL
CHI – Delia (26) 2x1M – 18 nhl gp, Subban (25) 2x 850k – 66 nhl gp. Beyond that capfriendly only shows a 25 and 26 yo w/ no NHL experience. Caproom unclear (Shaw and Seabrook injuries from last year?)

COL – Grubauer (28) 1x3.33, Fracouz (30) 2x2. Would like to upgrade.

DAL – Bishop (33) 3x4.916 10 Team no trade list, Khudobin (34) 3x3.33. Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday that they were paying Niemi/Lehtonen too much money in the mid 30s? 21 yo Oettinger was picked 26OA in 2017 (appeared [probably briefly] twice in these playoffs?). Also a 5th rd 22 yo; nothing else on capfriendly. 6.6M in cap room and need 3 F’s (including Gurianov and Hintz as RFAs)

MIN – Talbot (33) 3x3.66, Stalock (33) 2x785k, Kahkonen (24) 2x725k then RFA. IMO they are tanking this year. Kahkonen has solid AHL numbers and seemed fine in his 5 NHL games this year. Stalock seems like a competent backup and could be a pretty hot commodity in this market. Roster is pretty much set with 2.7M in space available

NAS –Rinne (35) 1x5 – 10 team trade-to list, Saros (25) 1x1.5 then RFA. Askarov; otherwise nothing remarkable in their system; Ingram (23) 3rd rd pick has good AHL numbers. 13M in space and need 3 Fs (including Kunin RFA)

STL – Binnington (27) 1x4.4, Husso (25) 2x750k – no NHL experience. Hofer (20; 4th rd 2018) looked good at WJC? Over the cap and need at least a depth D. Want a better backup but can’t afford it…

WIN – Set.

METRO
CAR – Mrazek (28) 1x3.125, Reimer (32) 1x.3.4. Want to be better. Ideally younger and healthier. System seems thin and unremarkable. 5M in space to sign two cheap RFAs and another depth F. Lots of space next year; only need to re-sign Svechnikov and replace UFAs.

CBJ – Elvis M (26) 2x4, Korpisalo (26) 2x2.8. 13.6M in room for Dubois and 3 cheap(ish) RFAs. Lots of possibilities.

NJD – Set for now.. Crawford (33) 2x3.9, Blackwood (23) RFA.

NYI – Set. Ideally they might want to get cheaper than Varlamov’s 3x5M, but he has full NTC until next year (16 team).

NYR – Georgiev (24) 2x2.425, Shesterkin (24) 1x925k. 11M in space for Strome and Lemieux. Bonus cushion penalty 3.95M listed on capfriendly?

PHI – set for now with Hart and Elliott.

PIT - Jarry (25) 3x3.5, DeSmith (29) 2x1.25. DeSmith actually has pretty good NHL numbers in 50gp, so they are probably set.

WAS – Set w/ Samsonov and Hank.

ATLANTIC
BOS – Rask (33) 1x7, Halak (35) 1x2.25 (plus a 1.25M bonus if he plays 10 games, which could carry over the cap to next year if necessary). 4 guys in their system under 24; Vladar might be close? They’d probably like to get younger and cheaper, but it’s not urgent.

BUF – Ullmark (27) RFA, Hutton (34) 1x2.75. They think/hope that Ullmark might be a delayed bloomer like Markstrom. Hutton hasn’t replicated his good numbers from NAS/STL in BUF. Luukkonen (21) is also highly touted. Roster seems pretty well set with just enough cap to re-sign several RFAs, but they seem poised to make more changes, and could use an upgrade for Hutton.

DET - Greiss (34) 2x3.6, Bernier (32) 1x3M. Bernier’s numbers actually look pretty solid on such a bad team. A few late rd Euros in their system. Also Pickard (28) who has really struggled the last 3 seasons in limited NHL games.

FLA – Bobrovsky. Dreidger (26) 1x850k had really good numbers in his 12 games last season.

MTL – Set for now.

OTT – Murray. Nilsson (30) 1x2.6, Hogberg (25) 1x700k RFA had very similar numbers last year…I’m sure Eugene would love to dump Nilsson if he could.

TBL – Vasilevskey. McElhinney (37) 1x1.3. I’m sure TBL would love to save half a million here if they could…

TOR – Andersen (31) 1x5, Campbell (28) 2x1.65. Also Dell (31) 1x800k. A 21 and 22 yo in their system who are impossible to assess in the hype-machine.

Remaining UFAs (courtesy Scorpion’s thread):
Ryan Miller (ANA) // Goaltender // Age 40 // 9-6-4, .907
Craig Anderson (OTT) // Goaltender // Age 39 // 11-17-2, .902
Jimmy Howard (DET) // Goaltender // Age 36 // 2-23-2, .882

And a bunch of AHL guys with NHL experience (Condon, Sparks, Hammond, Hutchinson, etc.)

Not a lot of cap room to make moves, but I think we'll see a few of the guys I've highlighted in colours move around.
