from ESPN,

What was the biggest surprise of the trade deadline?

Scott Burnside: I was surprised that none of the teams in need of goaltending depth made a move, even though there were a number of options available, including Jaroslav Halak, languishing in the minors, and Ryan Miller of the Vancouver Canucks, both of whom presumably could have been had at a modest price.

Indeed, the only goalie moved was Ben Bishop, who went to the Los Angeles Kings from the Tampa Bay Lightning, basically as a backup to Jonathan Quick. Weird.

Now, will the San Jose Sharks, who stood pat with untested Aaron Dell, or the Columbus Blue Jackets, who rely so heavily on Sergei Bobrovsky, or the Edmonton Oilers, with Cam Talbot getting ready for his first starting assignment in the playoffs, wish at some point this spring that they'd added veteran goaltending help? I'll go out on a limb and say at least one of those teams will rue not shoring up the most important position on their respective teams.
