Report: Islanders receiving no offers on Halak

Jaroslav Halak might be staying put for a while, after all.

After Halak's agent, Allan Walsh, took to Twitter Saturday to criticize the Islanders' deployment of three goalies, general manager Garth Snow officially put the 31-year-old netminder on the market.

Walsh believes the Islanders' three-goalie system, featuring Thomas Greiss and Jean-Francois Berube, has stripped his client of quality practice time.

With the news of Halak's availability circulating the league's front offices, no one appears to be taking Snow's bait, as the Islanders haven't received any offers, Newsday's Arthur Staple reports.

Halak has one more season on his current contract at a $4.5-million cap hit.

In five starts this season, Halak has posted a 2-3 record, accompanied by a 3.04 GAA and .901 save percentage.
