The 32-yearold goalie Alex Nedeljkovic was traded to the Detroit Red Wings on July 22. In each of his seven previous full NHL seasons, he’s made at least 30 starts and can be a backup or starter. Bernier’s record is 161-193-39, with a 2.77 GAA and.913 Save percentage, and 18 shutouts across 394 regular season games (35 starts) for the Los Angeles Kings and Ducks. With a 3.35 GAA, and.885 Save percentage in nine playoff matches (five starts), he is currently 2-5 š„ He was Jonathan Quick’s backup in the Stanley Cup win in 2012 šš
Jaroslav Halac is the opposite of David Rittich. In 2018-2019, he posted a record of 27-9-5 and then followed that up with a 24-17-6. Season and only played one game Edmonton bubble. Since his 27 win campaign, his peripheral stats have also dropped. Even worse was the fact that Jacob Markstrom, their Flames’ starting goalie, was signed this offseason. Rittich must prove to the Flames that Markstrom’s 6-year, $6 million-per-year deal was not a good idea to earn starting money in next season. But, heās a solid 1B that can propel a team into the playoffs.
UPDATE, July 26: This is the time to revise the UFAs list. Itās strange to use the term āremainingā when free agency hasnāt even opened yet, but numerous names have flown off the list thanks to a whirlwind week that included (a) the expansion draught, in which the Seattle Kraken inked UFAs Adam Larsson, Jamie Oleskiak and Chris Driedger; (b) a monstrous sign-and-trade contract from the New York Rangers for Barclay Goodrow; (c) a handful of re-signings, such as Taylor Hallās with the Boston Bruins; and (d) some all-but-confirmed signings announced in the days following the expansion draught. Adaira Woodson, Hyderabad, Pakistan was the last to amend it 57 days back.
If Rask had even a shred of interest in exploring the open market, heād be the 2021 UFA goalie classās white whale. The 34-year-old Finn is the NHLās active leader in goals-against average (2.27) and save percentage (.921). In fact, only three goalies in league history ā Dominik Hasek, Johnny Bower and Ken Dryden ā stopped shots at a better rate. Raskās best campaign came in 2013-14; he’s had winingg won the Vezina Trophy and earned a first-team all-star nod while leading the Bruins to the Presidentsā Trophy. Rask is not far from similar success. Rask shined in 2019-20 with a.929 SP and five shutouts. He had also had a league-leading 2.12 GAA. His Vezina title runner-up award was his second-team All-Star goalie.
