This past off-season, a fair number of goalies changed teams. Some of these trades worked out, while some appeared to be more of the footnote variety.
While some teams acquired back-ups, though, around the time of the draft and before free agency, three teams got goalies who projected to be starters:
- The Buffalo Sabres traded a first round pick (21st overall) for David Legwand and Robin Lehner.
- The Edmonton Oilers traded three picks for Cam Talbot (and another pick).
- The San Jose Sharks traded their 2016 first round pick and a prospect for Martin Jones.
