I'm amazed at how dumb some big companies are... It actually blows my mind.

United Airlines was proven to be complete (frank)ing idiots in how they handled that. In other news though, did you hear that Chinese guy's history with the law?

The CEO says that their employees were right, then the next day apologizes for it. What an idiot!

Didn't hear about that guy though

I doubt it. With the number of other goalies available, I don't think Brossoit makes their list. Varlamov, Fleury, Korpisalo or Forsberg, Grubauer, Raanta, Condon, etc are likely to be exposed and are likely viewed as better options than Brossoit.

Fleury has a NMC. He'll get bought out

And people around here make jokes when people call me Doctor. I am clearly more responsible than that guy.

That's something I've learned after working alongside many successful business/government people in my province... Titles means nothing. I used to assume CEOs knew their sh1t, and I used to look up to people with titles like that... Now I just assume everyone I meet is a (frank)ing idiot. More often than not, I'm right.

I do the same. People are morons in general. You should see the prized pigs I find when I put out ads for concrete labourers on kijiji.

I usually hire 3. One will quit midway through the day, one will quit at the end of the day, and one will half ass it but will like getting paid and want to stay on. That's the guy I end up hiring until I get sick of watching half ass work or find someone better. Millenials are useless!

- Ihatebrianburke

Nah, he'll probably get traded. A team like Dallas that needs a goalie will certainly go for a simple Fleury for Niemi and a pick type of deal.

There will be a very crowded market this summer for goalies

Maybe. I don't think it'll be too bad as the answer to each team's problem is pretty clear.

Bishop likely sees a prime opportunity to get bank from Vegas and they would likely entertain the idea of guaranteeing one of the top-10 goalies of the past 3 years.

If Vegas signs Bishop, then the market for Varlamov is all but shot. Maybe Arizona would take him on with some cap withheld and do what Arizona does with goalies. If not, Colorado is still capable of keeping him around in hopes of a reversal of fortunes.

Chicago might try to move Crawford, but how many teams realistically can add a 6mil goalie? Carolina and maybe Arizona. I doubt Chicago would move him in-conference and I think Winnipeg will decide that their coach and defensive system are more of a problem than their young goalies.

With Dallas, they'd need to send a goalie back in any deal for a goalie. The only team trading away a goalie that I can see willing to take back another would be Pittsburgh as they absolutely NEED to be rid of Fleury and his NMC. As they would be moving him cross-conference, I don't see any reason for hesitation on their part, either.
