"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
ANA G1: Gibson (2026+)
ANA G2: Dubnyk (MIN - 2021, but do they still want him?)... I actually agree that a team like ANA will eat this cap and get an asset for doing it.
ARI G1: Kuemper (2022)
ARI G2: Raanta (2021)
BOS G1: Rask (2021)
BOS G2: Halak (2021)
BUF G1: Hutton (2021)
BUF G2: Khudobin (UFA) - signs hoping to steal a G1 spot in NHL.
**Ullmark (BUF - arb.RFA). The mess that is Buffalo decides to be that team to carry 3 goalies... IDK why...**
CGY G1: Holtby (UFA) - I just see this as a good fit, put a ring in the lockerroom
CGY G2: Rittich (CGY - 2021, but do they still want him?)
CAR G1: Mrazek (2021)
CAR G2: Reimer (2021)
CHI G1: Crawford (CHI - UFA, loyalty re-sign?)
CHI G2: Subban (2020 arb.RFA - though I see him staying at low-number) (or could be Delia - depends on whether Subban takes his #)
CBJ G1a: Merzlikins (2022)
CBJ G1b: Korpisalo (2022)
COL G1: Grubauer (2021)
COL G2: Francouz (2022)
DAL G1: Bishop (2023)
DAL G2: Dell (UFA) - joins his buddy Pavelski on Stanley Cup champs
DET G1: Lehner (UFA) - Yzerman makes first big splash of 2020 UFA signings!
DET G2: Bernier (2021)
EDM G1: Murray (PIT - arb.RFA) - similar to CGY situation, team decides to add Cup wins to lockerroom.
EDM G2: Koskinen (EDM - 2022, but do they still want him?)... it's hard to swap out TWO goalies, so I think he stays.
FLA G1: Bobrovsky (2026+)
FLA G2: Dreidger (2021)
LA G1: Quick (2023)
LA G2: Peterson (2022)
MIN G1: Stalock (2022)
MIN G2: Kakkhonen (arb.RFA)
MON G1: Price (2026+)
MON G2: Lindgren (2021)
NAS G1a: Rinne (2021)
NAS G1b: Saros (2021)
NJD G1: Blackwood (RFA)
NJD G2: Schneider (NJ - 2022, but do they still want him? - think he just stays...
NYI G1: Varlamov (2023)
NYI G2: Sorokin (2022 RFA)
NYR G1: Shesterkin (2021 RFA)
NYR G2: Lundqvist (I think they need to loyalty re-sign him for fans/franchise)
OTT G1a: Nilsson (2021)
OTT G1b: Hogberg (2021 RFA)
PHI G1: Hart (2021 RFA)
PHI G2: Elliot (UFA), re-signs for 1 or 2 year contract. Happy with lockerroom.
PIT G1: Jarry (PIT - arb.RFA). Team needs a perceived "shake up"... and Jarry simply agrees to a lower contract/cap.
PIT G2: Domingue (UFA) - spot-fill of a low-$$$ back-up. He agrees to NHL minimum, which works for Rutherford.
SJ G1: Greiss (UFA) - SJ trying something new, but still strapped too much to cap to make a big play.
SJ G2: M.Jones (SJ - 2024, but do they still want him?), nobody willing to take this contract
STL G1: Binnington (2021)
STL G2: Allen (2021)
TB G1: Vas (2026+
TB G2: McE (2021)
TOR G1: Andersen (2021)
TOR G2: J.Campbell (2022)
VAN G1: Markstrom (UFA) - VAN shows him the $$$
VAN G2: Demko (2021 arb.RFA)
VGK G1: Fleury (VGK - 2022, but do they still want him?) - I'm not sure they have the assets to unload his contract... so I think he stays & they iron things out. VGK will lose to VAN, so Lehner moves on.
VGK G2: Talbot (CGY - UFA), for minimal dollars, just to stay in NHL and try to wait on Fleury.
WAS G1: Samsonov (2021 RFA)
WAS G2: Georgiev (NYR - arb.RFA), joins country mate on the RedMachine
WPG G1: Hellebuyck (2024)
WPG G2: Brossoit (UFA) - re-signs for one year, unless they want Comrie up (Good Note on somebody's post!!!)
The "pile":
Miller (ANA - retirement candidate)
Howard (DET - retirement candidate)
M.Smith (UFA - retirement candidate)
Anderson (OTT - retirement candidate)
SUPER BONUS QUESTION: Name the starting SEATTLE KRAKEN goalie for opening night for them in 2021-22.
*Teams are PLANNING a bit better on this front this time around... so I think we just end up seeing a 2021 UFA decide to sign with Seattle as the #1.
And that player... is Philipp Grubauer... who is pushed out of COL by the strong player of Pavel Francouz and cap needs of COL to re-sign Landeskog (2021 UFA), Makar (2021 RFA), and add others.

Couple points about CHunter's list:
-Solid job overall
-I wanted to say Rask retires, but I think he tries to honour the last year of his contract, and at least starts the season back in Boston. I agree he's done in 2021 though.
-Lundqvist has another year left, so it would just be keeping him, no need to even re-sign him
-Not sure Toronto wants to get older and goes for Greiss, but we really don't know what Dubas is going to do with the goalies.
-I like the theory of Jones getting flipped back to LA for them to take on the salary and he can play behind Petersen.

Has something to do with only being in North America for one-year thus far.
