** NHLRumors.com transcription
Invoice Pidto: “So Kuemper’s a King. Markstrom’s a Satan. How about the remainder of the goalie commerce market? Linus UIlmark could also be on the transfer quickly, from the Bruins. What do you suppose?
Pagnotta: “Yeah, effectively, look, there’s I imply, he’s not the one one. There are definitely different goaltenders which are on the market as effectively. John Gibson, Anaheim keen to pay attention on him. Juuse Saros, Nashville is listening on him. Elvis Merzlikins in Columbus. You can even add Filip Gustavsson in Minnesota to that checklist. He’s out there as effectively.
NHL Commerce Evaluation: Calgary Flames Proceed Their Rebuild
There are different groups that wish to shore up their goaltending place. Ottawa being one in every of them. They’d like to maneuver out Joonas Korpisalo if they might, after which sort of go from there.
Toronto was poking round, as we talked about, on Markstrom. I consider there’s curiosity in each Ullmark and Saros. It’d be attention-grabbing if Toronto and Boston may put something collectively. I wouldn’t maintain my breath on that one.
However Saros is definitely a participant that’s going to generate extra curiosity, together with Linus Ullmark who has one other 12 months left that his, they each have another 12 months left on their contract.
Now with the Bruins prone to signal Jeremy Swayman to an eight-year extension north of $8 million per season, clearly, the long run there’s gonna look bleak when it comes to something past subsequent season for, for Linus Ullmark however you’re gonna see the juicy, Juuse Saros, excuse me, can also be a deal in and round $8 million to eight and 1 / 4 on an AAV on an extension. I don’t suppose Nashville has an urge for food to do this. Not with Askarov arising proper behind him.
So these are two groups, each the Boston and Nashville, that might be fairly lively right here within the subsequent, you already know, 10 days or so main into draft, the place we may even see some extra goaltender motion.
And once more Minnesota with respect to Gustafsson. Billy Guerin and the Wild have made it recognized that he’s out there. There’s gonna be much more fireworks right here over the subsequent few days and within the days main as much as the draft subsequent week.
