Two teams that could be in the goalie market
TSN: Pierre LeBrun says that the San Jose Sharks could go a different direction in net and pending unrestricted free agent Devan Dubnyk could be made available. He has a 10-team no-trade list but if a contender was on his list now, he might waive it. The Washington Capitals and Colorado Avalanche are two teams that could be looking at the goalie market.
“Potentially the Avs, I’m told, have been calling around looking at goalie options to back up Pavel Francouz. He’s been injured long-term. Jonathan Bernier, who played for Colorado in 2017-18 also potentially an option from the Detroit Red Wings for Colorado. So, some options in net. Goalies aren’t moved often but those are a couple names that could.”
