With Tkachuk on LTIR, guess they can afford a real backup.

[TheIronMaiden]

Gotta wonder if Vladar was in the mix.

[TheScorpion]

Vanecek's numbers are brutal. If San Jose can get anything, it's a win.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Odd goalie to go after.

[Toonage]

I mean, Vladar was right there and put on a SHOW for the Panthers

[howard_the_duck]

What other teams are chasing a backup?

To me, seems more and more likely Vladar stays put and Flames ride this out with the current tandem.

I would presume Vanecek is cheaper than Vladar's current price tag.

Let’s see what the return is before saying they should have picked up vladdy.

No, Vladar would be cheaper. Unless SJ retains about half and they might

Nope. Makes 900k more than Vlad.

Vanacek makes 3.4 on his current contract and a pending UFA, Vlad is 2.2 on an epriring deal.

Return is 25 year old AHLer Patrick Giles per Tim Reynolds

Fair point and a good call lol

[Baaarrden]

Guessing the move was just more or less to make a more permanent spot for Askarov in the NHL

[konradical]

Vanecek has shown that he can be good on the Devils. Especially as a backup. San Jose goalies all get shafted imo. Except Georgiev he is just bad

[Buff]

I'm guess that SJ will be retaining 50%.

Do they even have any retention slots left?

I doubt they have to with gaining so little from Florida. They got some wiggle room from Tkachuk LTIRed.

If that’s the return no wonder conny didn’t trade vladdy.

[dammage79]

Man I'm looking at puckpedia and the Flames have the 2nd most cap space in the league. They can definitely make a couple of food deals for players with cap and term. Or eat a bad short term contract from a top team to give them room.

No salary is retained. Deal was talked about the last few days between the teams.
