Auld to start tomorrow and most likely Saturday.

It's all speculation anyways. The list of goalies that are on the market is about as insignificant as it gets.

What is the likelihood one of these guys is moved this season?

• Vesa Toskala
  
• Kari Lehtonen
  
• Marty Turco
  
• Thomas Vokoun
  
• Tim Thomas
  
• Manny Fernandez
  
• Nikolai Khabibulin
  
• Mikka Kiprusoff
  
• Dawyne Roloson
  
• Niklas Backstrom
  
• Antero Nittymaki
  
• Manny Legace

Only one? I'd bet certainly. My bet is Boston will have to choose between the two as Rask is going to be the backup. Toskala and Lehtonen could be on the move depending how the season goes. I'd take either of them in Ottawa. Hell, right about now I'd rather park my dusty old ten speed bicycle in the crease than have Gerber.

Not just one... I was just thinking of some of the goalies that could be out due to contract status, age or a crowded crease.

I hope they don't wait until the deadline to pick up another goalie. Auld is good, but is more a good backup than a starter 20-25 games tops

Well, if Murray is going to make any moves in goal, it's best to make it sooner than later.

But, my gut feel is we're not making any changes in goal this season.

I sure as Diddle hope you're wrong. I don't think my nervous system can handle a whole season of Martin Gerber.

chat anyone?

I might hop in.

You're right. We tried that once. Brought in a Leafs-killer at the deadline. I'm sure you all remember the rest.

At least Auld is in tonight. Maybe I'll make it through a period sober for once.

Wait, the game's on Sportsnet and I'm still too cheap to pony up for Center Ice.

Anyone know if Sopcast is up and running this season? We should have a Sopcast thread if so... <--- I'll post it tonight when/if I find out.

From Brucie Garrioch, Ohlund is on Bryan Murray's radar.

Ohlund, eh? I'll have to ask my Canucks fan about him.

Not that I put any stock in BooBoo.

Really? Ohlund?
I'm not sure how I feel about that to be honest.

I agree Cronie. I don't know enough about Ohlund to make a determination. Is he really the answer?

Ohlund is kind of a middle of the road puck mover with a bit too high of a contract to swallow unless you are desparate IMO. Sure he is better than any puck mover we have but that is not saying much.

oh, and Kaboominator was saying he's made of glass...
So, I'll assume Garrioch was fed BS; or I hope it's BS.

One thing about Garrioch is that he will eat anything. I am sure he can't tell the difference between BS and chicken wings. It all tastes the same after the first 4 buckets. Like beer... YUM beer.
