Yeah, looks like that’s going to be the case, with a handful of mid-level starting netminders hitting the open market/trading block.

Manny Fernandez stands to probably make a killing. Other UFAs include Nikolai Khabubulin, Marty Biron (who probably won’t be re-signed by Philly with the imminent Ray Emery signing), Ty Conklin, and Craig Anderson. As for the trading block, J.S. Giguere, Josh Harding, and Jose Theodore are almost certainly going to be shopped heavily (not likely that anyone wants Theo, though).

All 8 of those guys could potentially land (or at least compete for) starting jobs next year. My question: where will they all end up (and who won’t be going anywhere) and why? Most interesting answer wins.
Roloson? I guess. But if you want to go with a geriatric, why not just go with CuJo, Kolzig, or Kelly Hrudey? Also, there’s no way I see the Hawks re-signing Khabby, unless he’s willing to take a huge pay cut to split time with Huet (not likely). And Fernandez DEFINITELY lands a starting job and a contract that pays him five times what he’s worth.
