Phillip Grubauer 

29 years old. 1.95 GAA. .922 Sv%. Cap hit: 3.33 million

It’s highly unlikely Colorado, like Landeskog, lets Grubauer test the free agency market. In three years with the Avalanche Grubauer has a .918 save %, 2.38 GAA and 12 shutouts while the team has gone 66-30-10. Expect that cap hit to double.

Linus Ullmark

28 years old. 2.63 GAA. .917 Sv%. Cap hit: 2.6 million

Despite playing for some pretty disappointing Buffalo teams, Ullmark has put up some impressive numbers. He owns a career record of 50-47-13 with the Sabres with a 2.78 GAA and .912 Sv%. He turns 28 at the end of July and would be a nice addition to a team that doesn’t have the capacity to lose 18 games in a row in a single season. If Ullmark is comfortable sharing net duties, he’d be a great tandem with Campbell that would still provide good value even with a modest pay increase.

Petr Mrazek

29 years old. 2.06 GAA. .923 Sv%. Cap hit: 3.125 million.

As nice as those numbers look for Mrazek, they are only based on 12 games played this past season. In his career in Carolina (92 games) Mrazek is sitting at 2.48 and .911 with 10 shutouts. Prior to that he played in Detroit for 6 years compiling a record of 72-58-20 and 2.60 and .912 (13 SO’s). He’s been quite steady in his career and would be a quality goaltending partner for Campbell.

Tukka Rask

34 years old. 2.28 GAA. .913 Sv%. Cap hit: 7 million

It would be a fitting tribute to have Rask finally come home to the city that drafted him and ultimately lead the Toronto Maple Leafs further than they have gone in nearly 20 years, which would only have to be….checks notes… ah yes, the 2nd round. The question of whether Rask is looking to take less money and settle into less of a role remains, though. Rask is only one year removed from a 2nd place Vezina finish where he put up 26-8-6, 2.12, .929, 5 SO numbers. He’s got a lot of game left.
