who are the other UFA goalies besides miller?

Bishop come to mind, but not sure if their are other less renowned vets available.

i still think Bachman is a plug.


edit: MAF not a UFA.

others i found:

Bernier
Mason
Pavlec
Elliot
Lehner
Johnson
Kuemper
Bera

none appeal to me personally.

Are you trying to build a cup contender next year?

cheers.

Chad Johnson is the only name that jumps out at me.
Not sold on anyone on that list as a vet backup.

After watching this hockey it makes me realize I'm glad I sleep through most of the Canuck season. I really hope they can make this team entertaining again.

Gonna take some time, keep sleeping.

I think Miller stole us 10 points last year , that could be the difference in drafting Dahlin .

I honestly respect your passion and Last year I agreed 100% . This year now that we have announced rebuild , I know we have to take a two year kick to the nuts. I bought a super strong jock.

The more i read about next years draft the more we need to bottom out. Looks like early second round picks will be like mid 1sts this year

did you see that list?

no, just looking at potential UFA vet backups for Markstrom...

5th

Just has to be "ok"....not looking for an all-star.

- mauryballstein

I don't think there is much we can do to not bottom out.
We need to stockpile picks tho, agreed.

Bachman is already under contract there's no reason to extend him, Demko might be ready for 18/19.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Demko may not be ready for two years, so we would need Bachman for the two year failure. The extra year is to support Gartieg in year three in Utica

Agreed, have to be older, vet and inexpensive...slim pickings.

If JB is smart he will be calling dallas to see what they give us to take either one of their goalies. 1 year remaining plus they suck and will help us bottom out, plus they are used to sucking so it should help with the feelings in the room

A 2nd maybe even rights to nikuchkin?

You can alway get a crap goalie for a season doesnt have to bachman but I like the idea of letting Demko stick utica until totally ready.

It could mean the difference of drafting top 3 or 6


Keeping Miller Edler Sedins is like trying to get pregnant using a condom. They will protect you but is that what you are really trying to do?

Sure go spend 2 mil for a bad goalie while you have a bad goalie for 575k

Who says you have to spend 2 mill on a back up. Literally take whoever comes cheap and use the cap space for cap dumps.

What was wrong with Bachman and what is wrong with his salary

They sure are picking fast, they must want to get out of there tonight.

Let's sign him for $3MM for one year I actually don't really care what he earns as long as it's one year
- CanuckDon

He was leery in the interviews at end of season

wonder if its cause he's not sure what the new coach thinks of him. Green's team had marky performing extremely well in the past. No coach left that will gift him games

He needs coaching but he's a great athlete.

Nothing at all. I wouldnt be signing him to a two year contract is all.

I figured if you can get the 2nd and then for them to toss in the russian maybe tryamkin would have a buddy and would come home

I dunno.
With our vet lineup we bottomed out at 29th this year.
We are drafting between 1-5.

I think we need some vets and am all for trading them at the tdl.
i would not want to move every vet for the start of the season and there is no way JB and TL would either, that's a pipe dream.
