Elvis. Grubauer. Both negative value contracts with 2 seasons left. Sharks ought to pick up a decent pick with either. both have had prior success
Tristan Jarry plus the Pit pick for Dallas 25 1st.
Let Nabby and Speers work their magic bringing him back from the abyss and the chance to draft Mrtka or Smith with the 11th pick
vladar if he doesnt mind another situation like was just in LOL
I really only want Allen out of all free agent goalies, but considering he’s clearly the best he will have his choice of many teams pursuing his services. I suspect he won’t necessarily want to come to SJ unless the money is stupid or he gets a guaranteed number of games. Here’s hoping!
What about taking on Elvis Merslikins contract for a haul?
If Allen makes it to free agency, I’d say just throw a bag at him for two years. We’re not exactly strapped for cash and I wouldn’t mind overpaying someone who has a more proven track record rather than take a risk on someone who might leave Askerov out to dry midseason.
Tbh I wouldn’t mind having Vitek back if he wants to return… especially given the dearth of FA options.
All i want is to not overpay anyone to reach the floor.
Like many have commented, of the goalies you presented I would prefer Allen. With the cap money available I am sure GMMG could sign him.
I appreciate the list of possible trades, but none of them really sounded like something that IMO GMMG should pursue.
Thank you for the content as it gives more topics for us fans to discuss. I am looking forward to your 2024 draft class review!
If gmmg thinks he's the perfect guy, give him a couple mil more than other teams are willing to offer.
I think Flower has one more goodbye tour in him 👀
