I don't think the Oilers are going to overspend on a goaler. Koskinen was fine as a 1A/1B type last season and so I think they'll be in that second tier market for Khobodin/Crawford/Greiss etc


Mike Smith has nothing left and sucks out loud outside of speaking to the media.

I think you can make the case for 15 teams wanting to sign someone more than a whatever guy.

Teams actually looking for goaltending (as far as I can tell):

Definitely need:
Minnesota - Quality starter. Guerin straight up said that he wants a new starter after trading away Dubnyk and throwing Stalock under the bus.
Vancouver - Quality backup or 1a/1b if Demko isn't ready to be a full time starter.
Calgary - Quality starter or 1a/1b because Rittich is mediocre at best. Honestly they should just re-sign Talbot.
Edmonton - 1a/1b since Koskinen is better with limited minutes.
Dallas - At least a quality backup for when Bishop has his yearly trip to the IR.
Carolina - Quality starter or 1a/1b because Mrazek is mediocre and Reimer probably isn't a full-time starter any more.
New Jersey - Quality backup, maybe a 1a/1b given that Blackwood's never played more than 43 games in a season.
Washington - A backup/mentor for Samsonov, but it looks like they're signing Lundqvist for that role.

Maybe:
Florida - Bobrovsky was bad last year and Driedger is unproven, though the latter had good numbers in a very small sample size.
St. Louis - Binnington got badly exposed during the playoffs and Husso is totally untested.
Anaheim - Gibson is their guy, but should look for a good backup given that Miller is 40. Miller had a good season last year, but you can't really keep kicking that can down the road.

Who loving knows:
Boston - Is Rask's heart really in to playing? He's got a young family and the world's currently on fire. Hockey may be the last thing he cares about right now.
Colorado - Rumblings that they're looking for a goaltender even though Grubauer and Francouz have been good.

Who loving cares:
Detroit - Johnathan Bernier is their starter right now but the team is going to be awful next year so it probably doesn't matter.
Chicago - Good luck with Colin Delia

I would add Buffalo and maybe Arizona since they seem set on dealing Raanta or Kuemper

Markstrom was sensational behind some really awful Canucks teams. His boxcars don't do him justice because the team in front of him was so awful. By pretty much every newer metric he was one of the top 2 or 3 goalies in the league over the past 3 seasons and that meshes with what Canucks fans saw. He beat Pettersson for team MVP twice for a reason.
