If you're pairing Halak with Perry you better be getting Price in return.
Halak is damn good and should get the starting job back at some point. He will start at the end of this week so there's his chance.

I think I'm fine in skater categories. I think the only way I can gain ground is to get rid of some of that offense and upgrade my goaltending. I can't wait 3 weeks for Halak to get it together. 41 goalie games remaining and I probably need 25-30 wins out of those 41 games to finish top-4 in Wins which would give me another 4-5 points. SV% needs to be around .915 to be middle of pack for another 5-6 points or so. What do you guys think?
Should I go after these guys?
1. Dubnyk
2. Quick & Bernier
3. Luongo & Schneider
4. Hiller & Fasth
5. Price
6. Crawford & Niemi (but I'd rather stay away, this GM might win the league!)

As I said in your last post, only if the price isn't ridiculous. That price is ridiculous. A fair offer would be Halak and Eriksson/Burrows (which is still a lot to pay). What's available on the wire? I'm assuming you missed out on Allen
What do you guys think would be a fair offer for the VAN or LAK goalies? Perry must be involved or it's a no go. Is Perry straight up enough???
I agree with what has already been said. Halak is a very good goalie on a top 4 team in the NHL, packaging him with Perry is not worth anyone outside of Price/Rask/Rinne. Schneider, Luongo, and Quick all are going to give you similar angst this season: inconsistent performance and battling for starting time with a quality backup. Halak is more of a clear #1 than either Vancouver goalie, and until Quick can close the door on Bernier, his situation isn't much better than Halak's.
Do you think the Quick owner would take Varlamov + Pavelski? Would be a bit of a lowball offer, but there should be room to work with given Quick's play thus far.
lets be realistic here just for a minute if there was real value in halak in a 1 year league the OP would be keeping him and not trading him for an upgrade
15 team league nearly every goalie owned i would absolutely expect goalies to be unbelievably expensive and considering we are offering them a goalie of marginal value (after all that is why he is being sent rather than kept) the other piece asked is going to be a big part
the other gms in this league i would imagine are trying to win this also and arent looking to make someone else better without making themselves better by an equal if not greater amount
they may as well stay put otherwise
I agree and that's why I drafted Halak this season, but the results just aren't there. In a full season I would hold onto Halak, but it looks like he'll only get 10-12 out of 20 remaining starts assuming he's back in Vezina form. Price is untouchable, Rask is on a competitor's team, and Rinne is Jekyl and Hyde this month.
No way he takes that. He needs a clear upgrade at wing. Either way I'm going to have to overpay .
Halak, Perry for Schneider, Luongo, Clarkson
or
Halak, Perry for Quick, Bernier, Pominville
Didn't realize those offers were on the table (thought you'd only be trading for 1 LA or Van goalie). I like the Vancouver + Clarkson trade more. Clarkson comes closest to replacing Perry's stat package and you bring back two quality goalies with an outside chance one gets traded (looking doubtful though). Any chance you can get them to swap out Varlamov for Halak?
No chance of swapping with Varlamov.
