When Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman starts poking around the NHL goalie market this summer to find a new partner for Ville Husso, he may find crowded shopping aisles.

Several teams are looking for new goalies. And the goalie market is thin. The UFA list includes Tristan Jarry, Semyon Varlamov, Adin Hill, Joonas Korpisalo and Frederik Ansdersen as the most desirable. But how many those goalies will end up back with their own teams? Certainly Hill and Korpisalo are strong possibilities and Jarry could end up back in Pittsburgh, depending upon who the new GM is.

The Penguins, Senators, Red Wings, Sabres, Hurricanes and Islanders could be in the goalie market. The list could grow longer. Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now points out that the Sharks historically don’t draft goalies effectively. Maybe they should be in the market as well.

The goalie trade market could be interesting if the Anaheim Ducks were trading John Gibson or the Calgary Flames moved Jacob Markstrom. The Winnipeg Jets are expected to move Connor Hellebuyck.
