Value of: Jonas Gustavsson

[Mathletic]

With Jonas Gustavsson becoming a UFA this summer. First, do you think Toronto will bring him back? If not, what kind of contract do you think he's getting this summer?

[Vikke]

The KHL or back in Sweden.

[Schennanigans]

I hope we allow him to walk. We don't need to get anything for him. Hope to see a #1 goalie next year with Reimer backing up.

[smoke meat pete*]

Sweden

[Inub0i]

Apparently "The Monster's" days in the NHL are over.

[SIDGENO8771]

Not comin back to the Leafs. Maybe a team like Washington.

[sharks9]

Some team who desperately needs goaltending help might take a chance on him for a low salary of 1 million or something like that.

[Needles]

Russia.

[Mike Jones]

He may be one of those players who need a change of scenery and a different coaching style. If the price is right he may be worth a gamble.

Maybe Colorado? They've survived Hardy Astrom...

Yes they sure need goalies with Varlamov, JSG and Desjardins in their system.

[birddog*]

He needs to play in a franchise with zero media or pressure. He has talent but doesn't play well when he sits for any length of time -- so he needs to be the number 1. Not sure many teams would be too excited to give him the number 1 position -- he's too fragile. That said the kid could still surprise and become a very good NHL goalie. But not likely that he will unless he goes into the perfect spot and the starter gets hurt.

[orcatown]

If he is interested in staying in North America maybe somewhere in the AHL

[Morlu]

I think he'll be given a chance with another team. I bet he'll be amazing on a good team. The Leafs just suck.

[Toastman]

If hes willing to accept a two way contract, than I'm sure he will find work in the NHL/AHL

Desjardins is a restricted free agent and doesn't need to be brought back (Eventhough the Avs would be idiots not to).

But I see your point.

[Modo]

He'll get a job on another team as a backup, for sure.

Toronto and Dallas were "finalists" for both Gustavsson and Rynnas, with Toronto winning out both times. Can't help but feel the Stars dodged a bullet here, opting instead for Kari Lehtonen over Gustavsson.

Time will tell for Rynnas.

[TheHudlinator]

I think he goes to Tampa on a one year deal.

Tampa Bay already has a good enough backup.

Why would we need a goalie?

[Hanta Yo]

Won't be coming back to Toronto, but I'm pretty confident in saying that he will be in the NHL somewhere next season.

[Mathletic]

I was thinking a team like New Jersey would want him. They play good defense, not as much pressure, Gustavsson won't ask for much, especially if given n'1 role. Could be a winning scenario for both the team and player.

[Grant]

He many not be signed right away next year but I do think that he will play in the NHL at some point next season. Either a team will sign him to a small one year deal, say for about 1m, or he will go unsigned at first but then a team will have goalie troubles/injuries and they will sign him.

[TheSilencer]

Back up for a NHL team. He isn't good enough to be a starter in the league.

[RogerRoeper*]

No way does he come back to Toronto. He's done with the Leafs. They'll want a more reliable and experience goalie to go with Reimer.

I do think some other team might try to sign him as a backup. He's looked great at times but is terribly inconsistent.

I do wonder what could have been with him if Allaire didn't try to change his style.

[Dr Swag]

He will get another shot, just like Andrew Raycroft.
