Need Goaltending Help?

from Kevin Allen of Mucking and Grinding,
Now three weeks into the season, the Toronto Maple Leafs look like a team in need of a goaltending switch. History says there will be others. Goalie go into slumps. Goalies become injured, and no team wins with inferior goaltending. That’s just the way it is.
Can Chicago win with Cristobal Huet? Is Ray Emery the right guy in Philadelphia? Is Chris Osgood play sharp enough to help Detroit overcome the reality that they don’t have the same level offensive firepower it had last season?
You know those questions have been asked around the NHL. If a team needs a goaltender, here are scenarios to ponder:
+ Ondrej Pavelec has looked sharp for the Atlanta Thrashers, and maybe when Kari Lehtonen returns to health general manager Don Waddell might consider moving Lehtonen who makes $3 million. That could be an affordable option for some teams.
+ With Jonas Hiller playing well, the Ducks would love to move Jean-Sebastien Giguere and his $6 million cap hit and $7 million salary next season.
