Considering who you already have and who else is available I don't feel Halak has any value to your team, either now or in the future. I'd rather gamble on Grubauer, Mrazek or Raanta in hopes they become affordable #1 goalies next year.
Where do you think he ends up next year?
I can't see him signing to be a backup and not many teams needing at #1.
Other notable G in competition to sign in the NHL as UFAs:
UFAs - Raanta (will re-sign), Hutton(I think he re-signs), Lehtonen(I think he stays in DAL for cheap), Ward, Bernier, C.Johnson, Pavelec
RFAs - Lehner, Grubauer, Mrazek
Reason for asking, I have him in my 2nd league below, but with the end of the season coming up, I was thinking of dropping him and doing a claim on any goalie that's played a game.
Thinking of Alex Lyon.
Others available: Campbell, Comrie, Dansk

I agree with Eric... you have valuable starters... take a chance on someone else. I think I like Comrie better than Lyon... but maybe that is anti-bias being a Flyers fan!

If he doesnt mind taking a big paycut he could carve a niche as a stop gap 1B kinda guy .
This is a real possibility, especially with teams trying to stockpile depth by having a backup with NHL experience (sometimes on one-way deal) in the minors. For example I can see the Oilers signing Halak and waiving/demoting Montoya to give them three competent NHL guys and a potentially-good tandem should something happen to Talbot. Plenty of teams could go this route.
That said I don't believe Halak holds much value in this scenario in a 12-team league.

Who would you want in a 2 goalie setup for next year... Halak or Christopher Gibson?
Either guy would be depth, not seeing much action. Nobody else available worth mentioning.
I'd probably want a non-goalie option instead of Halak , unless the cupboard is really bare. Those available goalies do nothing for me.
