Limited options for goalies in 2025 offseason market

The off-season goalie market is looking tough for teams in need of help. Several key goalies have recently signed long-term contracts, leaving fewer options available. Notable names like Mackenzie Blackwood and Adin Hill are off the market, making it challenging for teams seeking reliable goaltending. Despite the scarcity, there are still a few unrestricted free agents (UFAs) worth considering. Frederik Andersen of the Carolina Hurricanes has a strong career save percentage, though injuries may limit his availability. Jake Allen, recently traded to the New Jersey Devils, is performing well and could offer strong support as he ages. Ville Husso, now with the Anaheim Ducks, could find new opportunities after a challenging stint with the Red Wings. Several potential trade candidates could also be explored. John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks has been a sought-after name, although concerns about his injuries and salary complicate a possible trade. Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues may also be available if the team does not make the playoffs, but his recent performances may influence his marketability. Overall, the goalie market presents a mix of uncertainty and potential for teams looking to strengthen their netminding position.
