roenick is right their goaltending doesn't look like they will lead them to a cup, what goalie is on the block for them to get?

as for who is/might be available, Jaroslav Halak would likely be the only worthwhile option.
and btw, how did Fleury work out for the Pens last season?

just saying...check out Osgood's numbers from the Swedish Elite Red Wings Cup seasons too. (96-'97 - 2.30/.910). You don't need an elite goalie to win, especially when you have a team who leads the league in shots allowed per game, plays suffocating defense, routinely dominates time of possession, and can't be matched in speed by any other team. Oh and they're doing this all the while missing their best player(Hossa) for 2 months, and their #2 C (Bolland) for the entire year. If you can trade for Vokoun...make it happen, otherwise step away from the ledge.
I'll bet over 1/2 of the teams in the league wished that they had the same goalie "woes" that the Hawks do...
