  • Goalies For Rent: Pending UFA Goaltenders Who Could Be Deadline Targets


    Guest

    I don't necessarily think that trading for a rental goalie is the best way forward for the Wild, but I'm going to investigate who the best options are if they do decide to go that route. If Harding really is out long term, they could roll with Backstrom and Kuemper, but  let's look at what they could do if that wasn't an option either through poor play/injury from Backstrom or Kuemper reverting back to his shaky play from the start of the season.

    The following list shows each goalie's current age, cap hit, 5v5 Save Percentage and minutes played this season along with their 5v5 Save Percentage between 2007 and 2013 and minutes played in that time period.


    -The list is organised by 2007-13 5v5 Sv%:


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


     


    As you can see, there aren't a lot of options out there for the Wild in terms of goalies who could take the starting mantle and do a reasonable job. The ones who are safe bets have large cap hits and the Wild would need to ditch a contract or two to be in the running for them.
