    Any out there that might be available in very very deep leagues that could be big time sleepers (Nihlstorp types)?

    For next season you'd have to consider Karri Ramo. He could be Calgary's starter by then. But then again I'm not sure if you want Calgary's starter, given the team they're going to roster next season...
    He'd still offer far better value than Roloson who - if I'm to believe your signature - you still have on your team...
    Then I'd also take a close look at Poulin/Nilsson and Harding/Hackett/Kuemper as both Nabokov and Backstrom are on ther final year. And DiPietro.. ah, never mind...
    Then Eddie Lack should be the backup in VAN once Lu is dealt and Cedric Desjardins could become a factor in TB as Lindback isn't firmly entrenched there (yet?).
    Finally, if you want to take a really wild, highly speculative flyer, you could have a look at Reto Berra. He's been by far the best G here in the Swiss league (for an inferior team, though) and still hasn't signed a contract with a local pro team. So he could be on his way to North America and in my humble estimation he'd have the talent and size to pull a Jonas Hiller there... He used to be property of STL, but I guess he's an FA by now.

    One of my dark horses for years has been Joacim Eriksson. Great goalie on Sweden's best team this year. Has been at the top of the goalie stats in Sweden for years. Young too.
    GO WINGS!

    I Actually already own Erikkson.... Didn't think Berra was owned in my league but even he is!!

    Goalies hold very high value in my league and I'm just trying to find the next fasth or Nilhstorp....

    Thanks guys, anyone else got someone of interest?

    What is this guy's deal?? Does he just not have interest in playing in the NHL? You would think a goalie with that pedigree would garner a lot of interest from teams.

    I haven't read or heard anything about any unwillingness to come over on his part. Seems like he hasn't gotten any proper offers so far, or he's just good at keeping a lid on things. He's a very good goalie.
    GO WINGS!

    I recently picked up Salak again in a deep keeper. Not sure what the chances are that he finds a home in the NHL and he won't come over unless he's getting NHL starts but if he does he could be good and you won't have to wait long to find out. Check out his stats this year in the SEL:

    25W - 15L
    1.61 GAA
    9.39 SV%
    7 SO

    BY FAR the best numbers he's ever posted.

    Antti Raanta was by far the best goalie in SM-liiga regular season. His team ended the season with 15 wins in last 16 games with Raanta playing all the games. He has also said he has interest in moving to North America for next season.

    What's the take on Leonardo Genoni?
    Two years ago he was hyped as the best goalie not in the NHL. I've been holding onto him in a keeper. Any point to still hold onto him?

    This is mostly just stat hunting but I've scooped up Johan Gustafsson (Wild) and Linus Ullmark (Sabres) in my deep keeper.

    Just picked up Christian Engstrand, purely on stats alone, In order to mention him I pretty much have to own him or someone will grab him... too many dobberites in my deep league... that's a good thing though, makes for better competition...

    Anyway, I'm rambling...

    His figures were very good this year, he's young and his contract is up this season, might as well be worth a flyer on him at the very least, if it doesn't pan out then nothing lost. Anyone heard of him?
    he plays for Linkoping HC in the SEL and has posted 1.89GAA and 0.935sv% through 34 games, he has also improved his numbers for the last 3 straight years...
