It seemed to come out of nowhere when Garth Snow put his starting goalie on waivers. So where will the former New York Islanders starter go? Well, Brian Erni had some ideas.
The most likely option would be in Bridgeport. It’s not that Halak can’t be an NHL goalie anymore, he’s just due a ton of money. It’s roughly $8 million over the remainder of this year and next year, so there aren’t many teams that could fit that under the cap.
If anything he can serve as a mentor to Christopher Gibson. That is if Halak has the right attitude about the situation.
