Surely a reigning vezina winner has never gone for a low price before. Surely it hasn't happened recently.
I'll stick with the historical comps (they rarely lie). Team needs cap space and has an expensive backup goalie, price goes down, especially in the offseason.

Are you and dgibb10 related by any chance?

I don’t know dgibb10. We are related because we agree?
The best goalies in the league on Brodeur’s list are 2.76 GAA .909 SV%. League average is 2.92 GAA .903 SV%. Such an “incredible” improvement.

Maybe if Fitz did a better job of selling Holtz, the Flames would've settled for the Holtz and a 1st package
Silly Fitz.

The problem is fanbases all think their goalie is top 3, or top 5, or top 10.
Every fanbase thinks any cold streak on their goalie is a slump, and any hot streak will last forever.

I feel like you will have a long long career posting on CP. HAHA!

You know how I know goalies like Linus Ullmark and Jacob Markstrom can be available cheaply.
They were both literally acquired for free as UFAs.

And frankly the offer goes down significantly in the offseason

Haha, love these fans that negotiate with fans of other teams like they're actually the ones calling the shots.
Ok bud, let's get the league on the horn and draw up some paperwork. lmao
HF forums and CF forums this ain't

And Boston is not going to retain Salary in Ullmark.
Markstrom at $3mil (50%) retained is very valuable.
This guy is just pissed that the Flames org didn't cave and send them Markstrom at 50% retained for spare parts.

I have yet to see any report stating that NJD offered Holtz+1st. I have asked countless flames fans, none can provide a link to said source.

I know this whole UFA thing can be tricky, so maybe we should go through it again...
Players who are UFAs can be signed by any team (i.e. free)
You are yelling at clouds here.

So how fast are you going to disappear when eventually Fitz pays a huge price for a starting goalie?

You agree that goalies are unimportant. That's a rare opinion.

What's it like to know so much more about goaltending than Brodeur?

Yup, Tavares is crap too, because he was "free" to the Leafs. Same with Panarin.
The value of these goalies is they are under contract, and in the case of Markstrom it could be a very attractive cap hit.

Names all the goaltenders available. Here’s the list of teams
In need of goaltending, devils, kings, oilers, canes, leafs, flyers (depends on window), avs. That’s just playoff teams.

I don't think there's a source out there who has told what was rumoured to be offered. Our guys here have opined on what they've heard. Say what you will about any of the insiders but their info has been consistent.

Just as I suspected, you have no idea why Markstrom was available as a UFA. It had nothing to do with his lack of value.

Does New Jersey have any AHL defensemen Conroy can trade for?
