He's arguably the top goalie not in the Nhl. He had another solid season in the KHL and took his team to the finals.

The only problem is he has 1 more year on his KHL contract or Calgary would bring him over (they might work something out still).

How is Ramo doing? I remember drafting him in my Eastside hockey manager 2007 game. I had big plans for him, never panned out since I had Lundqvist, and by the time he was done, somebody better than Ramo came along.

Property of the Flames. He was in the Cammy for Bourque trade.

Biron might love to come back, however he's probably looking for a #1 job this summer. His numbers warrant the possibility at least, even if they're the result of the Rangers' defense corps.

Enroth started off quite well, but after Miller's concussion this year and he was called into action full time, he showed he's not ready to split the season in a 1a 1b scenario. He tops off at 30 games next season, which is a lot for a backup anyway. The Sabres are unlikely to give up Enroth unless the return can't be ignored.

Not sure but what about him? He is property of the Habs, is he not? I don't think abyone will be looking to an unproven NHL goalie as the answer. He would be good to provide competition however.

What about Ramo, I think this is the last year of his contract in the KHL?

If Halak is made avail(he won't be), it changes everything. Everyteam who wants a goalie looks into him as he is the best option period when you add all the factors, age cap hit etc.

Over the course of the last two seasons I think Enroth has been about as good as Miller, or course he's played a lot less games. Still, if the Sabres could get a decent return for them I could see them trading Enroth and then maybe signing a reliable veteran back up. Interesting option: Bring back Marty Biron. He had a good dynamic with Miller before.

Halak to Tampa Bay would be interesting. And the Blues have Elliot signed for a lot less than Halak so it could make sense.

Buffalo isn't just handing off Enroth, they need a reliable backup before ever sending him away. Enroth isn't ready to be a #1 goalie yet anyway, and I doubt Tampa would plan on giving up much to get him. The Sabres have struggled in prior years with unreliable veteran backups before Enroth came in, they aren't just going to give him up now that they finally have one. The only reasons to trade Enroth would be: 1.The offer on the table for him is too good to refuse 2. He refuses to sign an extension and they're concerned he jumps to the KHL

Tampa will be better off looking at goalies whose teams are ready to part ways with them, like Mason as you mentioned, or Reimer in Toronto.
